@Maschwi You can pair the FB (remote control) with the TV box even without a landlord 😉

Not at all, I can’t go to his apartment where the IB is…

@Maschwi Pairing the remote control is not done via the IB but via the TV box!

The Internet box does not need to be used to pair the remote control with the TV-Box.

The Internet box is needed if the TV-Box is connected via WLAN and you have to reconnect it.

@roku73 @WalterB

Since @Maschwi operates the TV-Box via WLAN, he must have access to the router after a factory reset of the TV-Box in order to re-pair the WLAN. And that’s exactly why he needs the landlord.

@Maschwi

I advise you to connect the TV-Box to the IB via Gigabit Ethernet. This means you are less dependent on the landlord and there are also far fewer technical problems.

@hed That’s clear, I was only talking about pairing the FB.

@roku73

But @Maschwi cannot pair the FB with the TV-Box if the TV-Box is not paired with the IB.

@Maschwi writes but the TV works, so you have to assume that the TV-Box is connected to the IB?

@Maschwi

If there is no direct LAN connection to the TV-Box, the landlord could also place a WLAN-Box in the rented room and then connect the TV-Box there, so the tenant would not necessarily have to have access to the Internet box.

But either way, the question is whether it is even permitted to provide strangers with an additional TV-Box. If that is not a problem, could the tenants of the WLAN-Box also use the LAN for the Internet?

This works very well with two lightweight walls or a ceiling between the WLAN-Box and Internet box and if the whole thing is e.g. only used for a short time it can be removed very quickly.

The TV box is connected via WiFi. But since it’s a holiday apartment that I’m renting, I don’t have access to the Internet box, I would need that for a reset to reconnect the TV box later.

So I won’t do anything. TV reception is running.
Swisscom TV with a second box in a rented holiday apartment is not ideal in my opinion

@WalterB

Yes, but @Maschwi writes in post #11 in response to post #10 that he cannot do the requested reset of the TV-Box because he does not have access to the IB to then carry out the pairing with the IB.

And since then the discussion here in the forum seems to have missed the mark because only the pairing of the FB but not the pairing of the WLAN was the focus and apparently still is.

@Maschwi Thank you for the feedback So the reset (or a simple restart?) as I suspected, the box did the trick😀. Tiptop, have a nice weekend to you too.

@gaeilgeor

… it was a simple restart…

True to the motto “A reboot is always good”

In the last century, with the old 7.521 from Siemens, only one thing helped: switch it off, wait, switch it on again!
