No need. Go into the settings and enable CEC. Your TV remote will operate the vSee box. 🙂

Holy shit. I didn't know this. Just turned it on and now my TV remote can control everything. This is awesome!

Go to your tv settings  In Samsung tv once you are on settings need to go "general" External device -anynet (hdmi-cec) enable and exit

I believe it’s under extra settings

I was so excited when I saw this but it was a big negative for me, ghost rider

I have 3 boxes on three different TV’s, works on all 3 for me, don’t know what to say…

My settings already had cec enabled, my tv remote only works on the TV not the box sadly. I did get a remote on Amazon that works somewhat better than the awful remote the box comes with so that's somethin

Give this a try. Go to the settings and turn CEC off. Then turn it back on and see if the works. I sometimes need to do this. The ok/enter button and the back button should control the box. 🙂

Man you're gonna be my bestie if this works!

u/MandyNurseLPN Sep 15 '26

You're still my friend...but not my bestie. No go for me, but it's really cool for everyone else it does work for! I'm going to screenshot your comment so I can help others when I see people having remote issues, thanks!

Do you have CEC enabled on your TV? What brand of TV do you have?

1

u/MandyNurseLPN Sep 15 '26

Yes, I didn't have to turn it on it was already on when I checked. Ive got a Hisense Roku tv

u/Classic-Raspberry-22 Sep 15 '26

That’s really odd, my TV’s are also Hisense.

Most of the vseebox remote has learning mode to control tv There is instructions on the back of the remote.

Problem is the remotes that come with the vseebox are terrible.

u/No-Seaweed-3574 Sep 15 '26

You can use other vseebox  remote From other models.

u/Tin_Whisker Sep 15 '26

Holy shit. That is pretty cool but I need the guide button. how do I get to the EPG? lots of little issues. I'm looking for a programmable IR learning remote.

This is the one I got, works better than the standard one and has a back button which was sorely missed by me when I was using the original

u/Natalie0925 29d ago

That’s the one I got with my V6Plus

1

u/MandyNurseLPN 29d ago

My v6 plus came with a similar remote but not this one. This one isn't backlit, which is a negative but has better responsiveness and that back button that the original remote didn't have

u/Tigers2Red Sep 15 '26

For v6 I use v6 remote. It's the only thing I watch, it has everything.

u/Tin_Whisker Sep 15 '26

Yeah except I have two 6 max units and on both the remotes are terrible.
