XF90 with You View

[brporte99]

I am struggling to figure out how to FF/ Rewind You View on Sony XF90 via the TV remote.

Is this actually possible using the TV remote or do i have to resort to using the You View one?

The TV remote does not respond and I will be disappointed if i cannot do this, any ideas?

It should be possible, but you need to setup the IR Blaster first, this can be a bit hit and miss but when you run through the setup process choose "Youview" as the option (as opposed to Humax for example) and go through the test prompts.

Lots of the functionality works using the Sony remote and Action button but some things are missing (like Delete for instance). But the FF and RW works ok as does skipping.

Hi

yes ive already set up the IR blaster , it does not work with the sony remote and using a separate youview remote seems a faff to me! ( and ridiculous)

I wanted to use the in built Youview (which was a good reason to buy the TV ) but this does not respond to the direction arrows on the Sony remote.

I hope Sony sort this out with an update or i will be seriously disappointed as my box is an older one so one would think built in software is the way to go?

Thanks

It works for me, I have a Youview box and control it with my Sony remote, did you make sure you selected "Youview" as the IR Blaster option when presented with the list and go through the test screens to confirm button selection and the correct remote setup?

@brporte99 I’m not at all sure that you and  @stormyuk are not at cross-purposes here.

I think you are trying to use the built-in YouView on the TV, and finding it very limited, compared to an actual YouView box?

Well, yes it is; no pause and rewind live TV (and therefore no fast forward) and no recording capability.

And so, nothing that you could unlock with a YouView remote; YouView on these sets just can’t do these things.

@stormyuk Is telling you how to seamlessly operate your YouView box with the TV remote, which is the best you can do in the circumstances, but I’m guessing this isn’t quite what you expected you would have to do; and so yes, you are going to be ‘seriously disappointed’.

Perhaps even to the point where you might want to claim you were missold this TV; in which case, you need to take it up with the retailer who sold it to you, and seek redress.
