I have a Topfield PVR5800t. It has a twin DVB-T tuner built in so eliminates the need for yet another ugly box! But then as I have a Beo5 + IR eye it is neatly hidden away

Just to let you know that this indeed solved my problem. Thanks again!

Thank you so much Carolpa and stefan! I will try this tonight and will definitely report back. This sounds so easy, the fact I missed it is typical for a Beo-dummy like myself

Interesting. That makes sense. It sounds like the Beo5 sending the option settings to the Beo devices could be my problem. When does the Beo5 actually "send" these settings? So far I just uploaded the config to the Beo5 and then switched on the TV or stereo. No idea if and when the option settings were transmitted. So I have the faint feeling

yes they are set to L and R...

[quote user="stefan"]Or change the configuration to 2-0 and don`t let the Beo5 change the options. I assume V.- and A. options are now 1-1.[/quote] I don't quite understandwhat you mean by this... yes, V. and A. options are now set to 1-1. [quote user="stefan"]Or do the 2 - 0 setup and change the options manullay with a Beo4

I just checked the IR codes in the "view" tab. When I do a 1-1 setup, the IR code for the radio is 0:000:TV:RADIO which suggests that the signal goes via the BV8. When I do a 2-0 setup, however, the code is 0:000:RADIO:RADIO, but nevertheless the same thing happens: the green TV light comes on, the radio switches on and then uses the BV8's

Thanks Opman, Yes the config software did initially set the products to opt 2 and opt 0, but I changed them both to opt 1. I just checked in the config software, and they are still set to 1-1. Strange, istn't it?

1 - No. The TV standby button turns green but nothing else happens. 2 - This is not possible as the BV and the BS are in the same room - in the config tool you can only disconnect masterlink connections between rooms. As the BS4 does not respond when I unplug the ML cable, but the BV, it seems to me as if it was receiving the IR commend for both units

Thanks for the answer. I configured the beo5 myself, and I have chosen the 1-1 setup that you describe...
