MiBox S - HDMI-CEC or good 3rd party remote control

by FlippyReaper

Hi, I've bought MiBox TV S and I love it, but its remote control doesn't have Channel+ and Channel- button which really sucks.

I'm using app SledovaniTV (IPTV provider in our country) and in this app you can't browse through channel with arrows/dpad but with Channel+ and Channel- (or you have to navigate through EPG which is annoying).

So I tried to use HDMI-CEC with my 9 year old Samsung TV which has Anynet+. Everything works, dpad, colors, numbers work. But Ch+ and Ch- just change source to DVB-T/TV tuner and change channel there.

When I used Raspberry Pi with kodi Ch+ and Ch- worked normally as intended there

I know I can use Channels app, but then I loose timeshift/recording.

Can someone please help me? To get TV remote control to work or send me link to some normal remote control with channel buttons which will work with MiBox?

I don’t think channel up and down work with anything CEC. It’s for TV only.

Usually, Ch+/Ch- map to Page Up and Page Down, in which case this remote should do the trick. I use a version of it with my Shield, and it does pretty well.

If you want to double check and make sure this is the correct mapping, you can try connecting a USB keyboard to your MiBox and see if the Page Up and Page Down buttons work like you'd expect the channel buttons to work.
