So many stability issues ,mainly the new voice control remote is absolutely terrible, very glitchy with a keypad that jumps all over the place making searches extremely difficult, some of the function buttons don't operate as stated, there is no media video stop play button ,also there is alot of

system freezes requiring rebooting and several times i have lost audio due to agressive use of the fast forward button.All in all the system is very unstable compared to the older now unsupported vip 5662w

Hi @Javindra
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community.
We're sorry to hear about the experience you're encountering.

For the remote, there are a couple things you can test out.

We would recommend inserting a fresh new set of batteries inside to see if that helps.
You can try re-pairing the remote to the receiver.
Ensure you have the receiver in a well ventilated area with a clear line of sight between the receiver and the remote, to avoid signal interferance.
You can pause content with the pause / play button located at the bottom of the remote:

Are you able to share and elaborate as to what functions are not operating as stated?
Does the fast forwarding issue with all content Live TV, recordings, On Demand or other apps (Netflix, Crave, Prime, etc..)?
Is your receiver connected via ethernet or Wi-Fi and have you tested both to see if the issue persists?

Looking forward to hearing back.

To further our conversation on the Bell android vip 7802 system and it's corresponding voice activated remote is have the main tv hooked up to my white giga hub via ethernet connection but I have two other tv's hooked up via wifi and all are experiencing the same issues. I am constantly losing my volume or audio if I use the fast forward or the error controls too aggressively resulting in reboots or unplugging the box for 30 seconds Bell says this is due to system lag. Also in the settings mode under remote setup it constantly fails and if you check the volume setting is is at 0. If you try to reset the remote using the settings reset nothing happens.You can't extend recorded programming longer than 30 minutes which is annoying. I actually have better remote results using the older Bell slim wifi remote. Also this new system will only allow you to activate one remote whereas on my previous now unsupported system vip 5662w 4k pvr I was using 2 slim remotes. I do understand that this system is relatively new but it is still very unstable and the most annoying part is that Bell won't allow me to go back to my older system, very disappointed
