Had my Harmony 900's for years and they've always worked really well with Sky Q.
My Sky Q box lives downstairs and feeds multiple TV's across the house.
One of the TV's is located in a loft room and to control the Sky Q box from there, on the 900 I have the Sky box assigned to the RF blaster which sits in a cupboard in the loft, and blasts the IR signal straight at a networked Keene IR anywhere module, which in turn blasts the signal to the front of the Sky box downstairs. This has always worked perfectly.
This week, I have switched from Sky to a Virgin, to their V360 box. The supplied remote for the Virgin box is bluetooth, but through reading other threads, I have been able to program V360 box onto the Harmony 900 to a Ziggo Mediabox Next and it successfully communicates with the Virgin box when I'm in front of it, using IR.
If I go up to the loft room, and open the cupboard with the RF Blaster and Keene IR module in, using the 900 sending IR signals works perfectly with the V360 box.
The problem I have is that when I assign the Virgin box on the 900 to be controlled via the RF blaster, I get no response from the Virgin box, so it's impossible to change channel etc. If I open the cupboard, I can see the Keene module is picking up something from the blaster (the lights flash), but it's having no effect.
I'm at a loss with what to do now. As I don't have an original IR remote for the Virgin box, I can't learn commands. But it's strange they work perfectly when sent from the 900 as IR, but not when sent from the 900 via the RF blaster.
I have removed and re-added the blaster several times, swapped for another blaster and also added one of the blaster eyes thinking that might help, but all to no avail.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Or have any other suggestions I could try?
