Dear all (especially jk),

I'm replacing my Philips ("chipped" so that it works with Beo4). Options are used DVD1 or PS3. Now, I do have AppleTV and I know it works fine to control it by Beo4 through PUC. Is it as smooth/logical to operate the PS (as it is to operate the ATV or DVD1)? Does the PS3 "remember" the spot where I left the other day when watching a film?

My main interest is to use it simply as a DVD player...

Thanks. 

Hi,

If you need a dvd player, why buying a PS3? I sold a DVD1 last year for 220 euro.....

Sheers,

Laurent.

I'd pay 220€, yes, but then again PS is around 400€ and better AND gives a blueray-bonus as well as possibility to play...

If I understood correct, the PS3 has a blue tooth remote and you buy a third party one? I am thinking the question is what remote works best with the STB and then in a nd step question arises can the STB be loaded to the BV8 (which I am pretty sure it can).

Hi, I thought PS3 can be controlled by Beo4 (that STB/PUC includes the codes) - similarly to the ATV?

It can. But the Beo4 or the BV8 can not send BlueTooth codes. So the link above is some sort of BlueTooth ------> IR code converter and you need it. But i have heard from several people that it works very fine.
