Control4 driver

TDC US Cable Box Control4 Driver

One driver for the SEI Robotics / TiVo Stream cable boxes US regional operators hand out. Channels, navigation and playback over IP — no IR bud, and no custom job per operator.

What it does

The driver adds the operator’s box to the room as a proper cable source. Your client gets the full TV remote inside the Control4 app: number pad, channel up and down, navigation and playback. Status comes back to Control4, so activities power and switch the room cleanly.

One licence covers every supported box on the controller.

Features

  • Halo voice. Hold the mic on the Control4 Halo and say Netflix, Prime Video or Disney Plus. The box opens it.
  • Channel numbers, channel up and down, navigation, select, home and back
  • Play, pause, fast-forward, rewind and the rest of the transport keys
  • Guide, menu, page and DVR keys you can remap in Composer to suit the box
  • Volume and mute, with online status back to Control4
  • Finds the box on the network and follows it if the IP changes
  • One licence covers every supported box on the controller

Compatibility

These boxes are all the same TiVo Stream / SEI platform under different operator branding — the same platform as the Eastlink TiVo Stream box this driver family already controls in the field. Install it, pair it, and put a full week of viewing through the free trial on the customer’s box. If it doesn’t pair, you get the licence fee back in full. Runs on Control4 OS 3 and X4.

If it doesn’t work with your box, we’ll refund your licence in full.

FAQ

Need an IR emitter?

No. It’s IP control over the customer’s network.

Will it work with my customer’s box?

If the operator is in the list above, the box is the TiVo Stream platform this driver is built for. Install the free trial and pair it — you’ll know within minutes. Full refund if it doesn’t pair.

How many boxes does one licence cover?

Every supported box on that controller. Same key in each instance of the driver.

Will a key from another Driver Cave driver work here?

No. Every driver has its own licence.
