Success, finally.
I had to plug the STB directly into the TV, and luckily the TV has an optical audio output that I could plug into the a/v amp to get surround sound.
Even if I split the HDMI signal & sent one to the TV and one to the a/v amp, voice would not work. If the STB was in any way connected to the amp, voice would not work.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Good to hear, thanks for the update. Can you tell me the make and model of the receiver?
It’s a Yamaha HTR-8063.
Now that voice is working, I can see why we need so few buttons on the remote. It feels 10x easier to use when I can just say a movie title & blue curve finds it for me.
Bad news, it's not working after all. It seemed ok for a while, but now it's back to not understanding anything. It seems to work once if I pair the remote, but not after that.
I'm stumped.
@Jneron Can you connect to the receiver using the Bluetooth in the Xi6 box, and then hdmi direct to the TV?
Sorry for the long delay, obviously I don't get here very often.
No, my receiver doesn't have Bluetooth. I've just been doing without voice commands.
