Can someone point me to setting the time on the remote? I can only find Settings/Remote/Set Time Zone and that does nothing.
Also, is it possible to use this remote to start an app on a smart tv ie Netflix?
Thanks.

Settings - Remote - Screen lock/Time.

What TV are you using? For my Panasonic, I noticed that as soon as you press the 'Apps' button, it would default to the app at the top left... so I simply set up an activity that consisted of...
TV / Apps / (delay 200ms) Enter.
By default, it would load the app that was in the first spot.
Easy.

Yes it syncs with the TV but it doesnt pick up the correct time.
TV is an LG, apps are in a line along the bottom and I have to scroll to the Netflix one, will try re-ordering them.

Screenlock/Time only adjusts the screen timout for me. The time is out by 8 hrs so its obviously a timezone thing and the fact that the timezone button does nothing is weird.
Got the Netflix app working, just had to program in 4 steps to the right and an OK and it worked perfectly. Starting to be impressed with this remote, especially the mobile app.

Sorry, I meant :
Settings / Remote / Set Time.

And yeah, creating a 'Left, left, down, okay' is the key. Sometimes adding a slightly longer delay helps maintain consistent results.

Under Settings/Remote I only have Screenlock, Remote Lock, Background, Brightness,Set Time Zone (which does nothing), Vibration and Tilt Sensor.
The time is out by 8 hrs so I am thinking its a time zone thing but unfortunately that button is unresponsive :-(
