Hi Kai,
yes it is possible to operate a Samsung Panel with the Beo 5.
The only thing thats frustrating is the fact that the remote-design-guys at Samsung are BRAINDEAD.
Some examples:
- if you want to switch to channel 12, you have to press a button to get into 2 digits mode, press 1, press 2 and then press the digit change button again, otherwise you cannot switch to channel 5 with one click...
- if you attach sources to your TV (like PS3, Media PC etc) you have to click through all sources to get to the last one... a simple button like "DVD" or "DTV" is missing...
I once did the templates for my (now gone) Samsung LEM52, if I can find the template set, I will send it to you / post it on the BEO5 resource site
