Remote Scheduling - Device Description

I have connected 2x HDR Fox to remote scheduling but when I login to the remote schedule website and configure the description fields for the two boxes, the names on the remote scheduling site don't match.
I want to use a naming convention of Fox2A, Fox2B etc but the text in the box around each device doesn't match. One of the boxes says "humax" - the default device name which I no longer use, the other box (on the left) has the description of the device on the right. And the device pulldown at the top has two devices, with the names seemingly combining the two descriptions "Fox2C and Fox2A".
I have changed the descriptions again. clicked save. logged out. clicked refresh etc.

I see, so the entry in the device pull down is actually "<hostname> - HDR - <description>", with the MAC address used if the description is empty. And the names of the boxes around the two devices are the hostnames and not the descriptions, rather than having hostname appear in the list of unique identifier, mac address, description, model etc.
 
it is not clear to me either, because I changed the host names on the devices themselves via the web-if and then rebooted them but the text on the rs webpage has not changed. Some synchronization might need to take place (although I did run rs/sync on each box as well) and i'm not sure when that will be. It could be that the hostname is stored from the time you register the HDR box with the RS system and it doesn't update afterwards. Perhaps after a day it might update itself.
 
A day later after the schedule was pushed from the server -> HDR machines, the hostname on the rs website is still not updated. So perhaps the hostname is stored on the website when you register the box and not updated if you later update the hostname on the device itself. I can unregister/reregister the box but I think this will wipe my stored auto schedule rules.


I did try to unregister one box - this did not go well because the site now seems to show one box in the pulldown list but none of the buttons like EPG, Auto do anything, including logout. The last seen of the remaining box has also reset itself to zero epoch time.
It was necessary to clear the cookies for the site and then things displayed properly.
registering the second box again correctly displayed the hostname. So I do think the hostname is stored when you register the box and changing the hostname afterwards will be ignored by rs.hpkg.tv
