Daniele_Sunrise I have done another scan twice on my Samsung TV, Quick and Full, and Blue Zoom was not found.
Could you please verify if that channel exists? In case, I could also do a manual search if you would give me the frequency of that channel.
Daniele_Sunrise I cannot find Blue Zoom in the basic offer (TV direct, no box - in Suisse Romande), which should be channel 518 as in the list here: https://www.upc.ch/pdf/support/fr/channel-list/A136864_upc_dtv_sendertabelle_legacy_fr.pdf
Daniele_Sunrise thanks for you reply.
Please let me clarify my setup: between the TV and the amplifier there is no HDMI connection. There cannot be: the amplifier does not have a HDMI port. So, no HDMI-CEC switch-on/off trigger signal is possible.
The connection between the TV and the amplifier is optical (TOSLINK), just digital audio. Yet, this amplifier could be capable to auto switch itself on, as it has infrared learning capabilities (like the UPC TV box) for Switch on/off and Volume up/down, and it also has “Auto Sense” (which strangey is not in the German language manual, but it is documented in the English one **).
As I have tried all I could on the amplifier settings, my question perhaps is if there is a setting on the UPC TV box that could make the red Power button on the remote control work as an infrared command and not as a radio command. If it was an infrared command, it would reach the amplifier and it would switch it on.
Or maybe some other setting/configuration…

Hi,
I have this setup at home:
UPC TV box -> HDMI -> TV -> (audio output via optical cable) -> audio amplifier (NAD D3020). The TV is configured to use only the external audio (I.e.: not the built-in speakers).
What I want to achieve is that when I switch the UPC TV box on with the red button on its remote control is that not only the TV switches on, but also the amplifier switches on and goes on that input source, so that one button switches the entire system on. And obviously the same when I switch off.
Currently instead, I need to separately switch the amplifier on/off, which is not good. A possible reason, if I understand things correctly is that the UPC TV box remote control has two power buttons:
However, the audio amplifier can receive the remote signal only via infrared. Maybe, the remote control red power button shold be able to also operate as infrared…
Is it possible to achieve what I want?
@Daniele_Sunrise : So, if I have understood, the only possibility is to purchase a third-party remote to fully control both the UPC box and the TV.
It’s a pity, as the UPC remote is well designed and ergonomic, its mix of radio and IR capabilities is brilliant, and with a little bit more of software improvement it could achieve what third-party remotes do.
Thanks anyway.
@Daniele_Sunrise : What do you mean “Otherwise you would have to learn the UPC TV remote control functions via your TV, if this function is available”?
Hi, I have just received the UPC TV Box, and overall it’s a good product.
One feature that I would like to see added is a DLNA client.
Any chance that you will do it?
Hi, I have just received the UPC TV Box, and overall it’s a good product.
One thing that I would like to see fixed or improved is the HDMI-CEC as now it is only active to switch on/off the TV (red button).
On the other hand, when I switch to another HDMI-connected device the UPC remote control become useless, and I have to use the one of the TV.
What I refer to is the possibility to use other buttons of the UPC remote such as up, down, left, right, OK, return, menu, play, pause, stop, rewind, forward to control the other device when this one is the active HDMI-CEC source on the TV.
