In case you have more than 1 Set-Top box you are required to set the *host* in each one of the entries. + +If the set-top box is in the same network segment as Home Assistant we can determine whether the device is turned on or off. Without this, the component will fail to determine the Set-top box status and you are required to add the *optimistic* configuration variable. diff --git a/source/images/supported_brands/mediaroom.png b/source/images/supported_brands/mediaroom.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..f8e13b72852 Binary files /dev/null and b/source/images/supported_brands/mediaroom.png differ
