Soniq Android TV keyboard control

by Poropopper

I have been playing around with a Soniq S55UV16A-AU. I bought it without a remote from a second hand store, and discovered that a Kmart Anco universal remote would not connect no matter what code was used. Without the remote, I couldn't tune any channels, or use most of the 'smart' tv capabilities. I discovered yesterday that I could plug in a keyboard into the USB port and control what I discovered to be a 4.4.4 Kitkat Android OS.

The keys I have found are:

  • Android Home: Fn + F3
  • TV Menu: Ctrl + Esc or M
  • Back: Esc
  • Channel List: Enter
  • Channel Info: I
  • Channel Input: 0 - 9
  • Volume: Fn + F10/11
  • Mute: Fn + F9
  • Search: Alt + Space
  • Screenshot: Print Screen

Using this I was able to connect to wifi and scan tv channels.

At this point, I can't find the exact buttons to control the episode guide screen, I can't figure out how to get Alt + Tab to work properly and can't do +/- channel changing. The cinnavision servers are clearly dead too, so APKs would have to be transferred.

I had a Soniq “smart tv” that was the dumbest thing in the world. It had their stupid overlay with the tv signal in a window that was impossible to get full screen without the remotes ‘home’ button. Soniq remotes seem very compatible from tv to tv for basic functions but without one with this magic button it’s useless. My Soniq TV’s done a solid 12 years though.
