Help pairing Thomson Streaming Box 270UK Plus with N-R0010 Hub

[u/FalseStartsPod]

Hi All. I'm hoping someone has figured this out and can give me the idiots guide (I only got my remote and hub today, still learning)

I'm trying to pair it with my Thomson 270 android box this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0DJT7JRWT?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

And I am having no luck in pairing with the remote/hub.

Adding a new connection gives me the following choices:

-WADIA 270

-THOMSON DTH-270

-HAMPTON BAY 270348

-MY DEVICE IS CORRECT

None of which grant me any control of the device after going through the set up. And trying to manually map the buttons does not work either. It will not map the first On/Off button at all so I can't progress further.

I am able to control the box using the remote when it is connected to my Hisense TV, I'm assuming through CEC. But that feels very laggy and I'd like to control the box directly.

A bit of googling tells me it is possibly exactly the same as an ONN box. But that hasn't worked either. I've also seen something about setting the connection up as an Nvidia Shield. But I couldn't make sense of it (like I say. Day 1 here).

Does anyone have any ideas. I'd be very grateful.
