Virgin Media UK TiVo box has it's own internet connection as stated by Virgin Media, you need to wait for Virgin Media UK to release their own app, they've already done the iOS app, just working on the Android one now.
Edit: I should of re-read, Try asking on Virgin Media forums? That should be faster.

Thanks for the reply. I've been using zeebox but it can't alter the volume.

Hi,
You have to pair it with the Virgin Media option,not tivo box.
It also needed several attempts before it worked on mine.
If the first few attempts fail,then,persevere.

Unbelievable! I've just tried pairing again and it's worked first time!

I got it to work by choosing Samsung instead of Virgin box but watchon is awful there is a delay between each button press. Smart remote for galaxy s4 works so much better with no delay plus you can use air gesture to change channels and volume.

[q] how to set up watchon in the uk

Guys, just got my s4... went straight to watchon as its new...
I click region and nothing happens??
My Region is uk, it progresses if i click usa by asking my postcode but obviously thats no good for me.
Can you help?
Try closing the app and restarting. I havent had that issue so could just be temperamental. I also hope you don't have Virgin media Tivo as it doesn't work yet.

Working here with both TiVo and V+ without issue. Love the multi room feature
I could not get my Tivo to work with the stock settings,, so i had a play,, think i lucked out, cause i got it to work perfectly with the settings for "telewest" set top box.

Ir blaster

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.
How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?
Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

This small addon is one of the major reasons I will upgrade from note 2. Anyone tried controlling AC ?

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app

YouTube app help needed

The stock YouTube app just upgraded and whenever I watch a video I get a white square in middle of my N4 screen. Cant figure out how to remove it, probably something simple.
Anyone know how?

Clearing cache and app data won't help.
This works kind of. But as soon as I turn the phone to rotate screen it comes back up

Do u have chromecast or TV that is connecting to WiFi? When that icons appears that means its streaming on the TV.

I know this is offtopic, but aside from the Connect TV feature, I've completely switched to Viral now.

OmegaRom Find My Mobile not working?

So the other day I was going through my settings since I'm fairly new to the S5 and noticed there was a feature that was just like the windows phone find my phone but a little better. I tried to use it and turn it on but after going back to the original security page it still says off or when I add a number to the part where it will notify you when the Sim I changed it doesn't save the number. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm also using the tmobile variant of the s5

I am also using Omega ROM. And it is working in mine. Did you uninstalled or froze any system apps?... It might be due to that.

No... Mine is working properly, no matter what I do...
Hmm I'll pull a log cat.. I have done multiple clean installs and everything possible.. maybe it doesn't work with the T-Mobile variant.

After reading around and searching. The Samsung security feature is not on the t-mobile variant. The t-mobile one used lookout instead of findmymobile

[Q] (REQ) Watchon Type App

The only thing I miss from my Samsung is the Watchon app. I have loaded it on my G2 but of course the remote doen not work. Even the HTC M8 that I test rode for a week before returning it have a TV app built in like Watchon. Does anyone know of a similar app that will work on the G2 that gives a channel guild and working remote? Thanks for any leads.
I've been looking for something like that also for awhile and still haven't found anything that works like watchon. I'll keep looking until something comes up.
Maybe this.
