Bluetooth remote

[Wonger]

I see the 4K boxes have Bluetooth capabilities so if Telus had a Bluetooth compatible remote that would be great so you do not need direct line of sight to the digital box

They don’t offer a Bluetooth remote or support Bluetooth currently..

[Wonger]

Yes but they should get them. Bell uses the exact same boxes and they offer Bluetooth remotes for their clients.

@Wonger  You’re welcome to suggest it in the Ideas section.

Line of sight issues for the remote can be addressed with a $15 IR repeater. I'd rather have the reliability and battery life of an IR remote.

I bought the Bell 4K bluetooth remote form amazon and paired it up perfectly with the VIP5662W. All i did is pressed the bluetooth button on the back of the box, then pressed 0 on the remote, with in seconds it was paired
