T-Box Remote

A piece of crap. Fails to connect. No options at trouble shooting that I can see. Retry just fails again. Only other choice is exit. Phone and T-Box are on the same network, and the T-Box is detected.

Without any infrared I/f its impossible to turn the bopx on, which then enables the wi fi. Still need original remote for this. Not easy to fix that little problem. Update. Yes of course the communication is rf, now that makes the problem a screwup.

Loads of trouble connecting with Android. Usually takes 6+ retries before it works and some days it cant even locate my tbox - very frustrating when the normal remote doesnt work either.

It worked the first night I got the app. Ever since then it says it has found the tbox device but can't connect. Rubbish app. I don't have any Internet issues. We have no problem with other devices or apps. Get your act together TELSTRA.

Junk. Says it has detected one box but keeps searching and can't connect. Re installed work once, next night wont connect again. Would be nice if you could just get a new remote

Is good when I can turn it on. It takes forever to get it to connect. An error will come constantly for a good 5 to 10 min before it will turn the tbox on. Once it's going then it works perfectly. Until then I want to throw something.

Buggy- crashes more frequently than it works, and when it does work it's clunky and not as intuitive as I would like. Doesn't appear to offer users the facility to see what's on next (without going to the guide) and users must click on the show description to then watch a program. Surely an app such as this could be much more streamlined?

It's fine if the tbox is turned on. But when my remote died the app wouldn't detect the tbox let alone turn the tbox on. Pretty pointless. Now have to pay for a replacement remote and can't watch Foxtel until it arrives.

This app is terrible, always crashing, bugging out, won't find tbox, so having to uninstall and reinstall for it to work properly. It is handy when you can't find your actual remote or your remote stops working as they all do, but app won't find tbox unless it's turned on, so having to reset t-box manually... Fix the problems with it..

Have had problems on my S4 since installing it. Always comes up with T - box has stopped working unfortunately. Pretty frustrating to say the least. rhen when searching for a t-box it says it cant connect so i have to press yes and quickly try and press the power botton to turn it on. Seems to work perfectly on iPhone. It would be a great app if it actually worked.

It'd be handy if it worked on NON wifi when Telstra screws up and is unabke to restore your internet when they have said for over a week it would be done today. It also is a pain for turning it on or if you have multiple phones with it installed. It's buggy.

It needs to be able to: Program recordings remotely via internet; Use a virtual keyboard for text searches. As it stands, it's not much more useful than the original remote.

Should add offline mode to flick through guide and PLEASE add remote record like the foxtel app! It turns my tbox on, don't know what everyone is complaining about!

Just like my other experiences with Telstra... Doesn't work properly and I have to keep re-installing. One day they may actually get it right!!!

I have an app for my TIVO that lets me control My TIVO unit from anywhere in the world. I can go online and select a program I forgot to record and when I get home is is there waiting for me to view TELSTRA this app is pathetic. Have a look Telstra what TIVO offer an get someone in who actually knows how to write an app that is useful

Telstra really needs to look at releasing an update to fix this app. Great concept and works really well ever now and then. Most of the time though the app freezes requiring phone to be reset. Other times it causes TBox to shut down and reboot for no apparent reason. My Tbox just shut down three times in 5 minutes and it only happens when app is open. Very frustrating... has been doing this since it was released. IPhone android no difference. Please fix it or the app and TBox are gone.

If it worked when you need it, it would be great but seems every time kids loose the remote it won't connect, so no tv until the house has been searched to find the actual remote

I agree with comment below to not being able to turn on T-Box, only seems to work when T-Box booted, all other functions appear ok with Nexus S.

Unfortunately my remote stopped working and I'm currently waiting for a replacement to be sent out. This app alows me to do everything I need. Found my Tbox within seconds.

Needs a proper keyboard not an old style 90s phone one. Its a pain to use no improvements on the original. Had no problems connecting to box.

"Check to see if tbox has power and that it is connected to the same network." Every single time I try to use it.

... And a handy backup. Can turn T box on and off although after a few attempts each time. As I say, it works mostly, however is glitchy enough that drops a couple of stars.

Our tbox ap on both of our phones crashes / freezes constantly. Will work ok when first started however will not close and open again.

I love it. The only thing I don't care for is the vibration every time you touch it. Maybe an option to remove that then would be 5 *'s for sure.

Doesn't find T-Box. No settings to tweak, no nothing. Tried everything without success. Even Telstra's own modem/router. HTC Desire HD, fully updated.

Just installed it found tbox right away but took awhile to actually connect to it but then it finally did and so far working good was so frustrated when kids lost the remote and it been gone for a few days so hopefully this app provides a good solution for now and we have tv again

the app often won't allow u to turn the tbox on, and stops working every time I open it. So u have to read the stop working message and then open the app again. Very annoying. happens on my Sony Xperia phone and my husband's HTC one. But I have no choice but to use it because I've lost my real remote. Grrrr

Users should be thankful for this app, it's obvious the tech-team are always trying to improve and make it easier for everyone to use. Thanks

It was switched on, on the same network, just wouldnt register so it was useless.

How do I calibrate this app? Its not my tablet. All my other apps work perfectly. When I want to press play, I end up pressing fast forward. Can anyone help me?

Great app when the remote breaks. Works well until I have change phone. This was a good app on my Razr HD but since getting the LG G3 it won't allow me to change which t-box to pair with. Have to shut down phone to get it to forget and then pair with the t-box that I want. Needs an upgrade.

Then it just refused to connect. 2 phones and a tablet simply cannot connect to it, even though they share the WiFi

Continuously crashes, have tried on multiple vanilla android versions and devices (nexus 10,5 and 4). A very annoying and poor app that has not been updated in nearly 2 years. Lift your game Telstra.

Handy as our real remotes are constantly playing up. And even though it says you can't, WE CAN turn the tbox on even when it's turned it's self off over night.(that is awesome) BUT Freezing issues occur often so that's why only 3 stars.

That's the message I get when opening the app shortly followed by "Connection error. Try to connect your mobile device to your T-Box again?" with an option of Yes or Exit. And that scenario just keeps going in circles. Restarted my phone to no avail, reset the modem to no avail, reset to Television to NO AVAIL!!!

Works wonderfully. For those having issues make sure your android device is connected via the same wifi network. Took 5 seconds to find my tbox.

For an app that deserves a ton of negative amount of stars just to begin to describe it.

Really handy app but as its an App on a mobile platform, I think they could do better by using the benefits of the platform to better use the T-box. One example of this would be having a keyboard option for entering text (for things like search or Youtube) and then have the app convert it to the individual number presses that make sense. Also the fact that the system has to be on and there not being an on button on the system slightly reduce the usefulness of the app!

Constantly gives me a connection error on new t box 2. Works for tbox 1 fine
