You can change channels on Satellite for any STB.

The bottomline is if you can do something, anything with a Beo4, then you can do it with the Beo5 if correctly programmed.

If you need to do several key strokes on the Beo4 to achieve an action, that same command can be done with one button click on the Beo5

Can you wait for three days, Ed?

Dashing off to work now. Maybe I can help you this evening.

With my STB I was (with the Beo4) able to zap up/down channel with the combination <GO> + <UP> or <GO + <DOWN>.. But it seems that the UP/DOWN function is somewhat hardcoded in the Beo5... anyone else had the same problem?

First I have to say that the bottom "Hard keys" are programmable by your dealer as well as the screen icons, however most dealers so far appear not to touch them and with good reason because of the considerable combinations using the arrow keys alone its easy to make a mistake.

But the bottomline is that ANYTHING you can do with a BEO4 with one or more key strokes can be achieved with just one key stroke on the Beo5 using a macro. I would suggest that you do NOT have the so called "Hard Keys" changed , but you get your dealer to add an UP/Down button on the "Scene" screen for your STB using the following IR macro commands:-

First command is GOTO

Second command is STEP_UP or STEP_DW

My beo5 is setup to send Go + UP and down on the hard key's works all most fine. it only works in sub folders under DTV..

Command used on mine PLAY + step_up

 But this procedure seems not to work with my HDR2  hard keys << and >> always do "previous" and "next", and not  "RW" "FF" like others products (DVDs and CDs) so I'm still forced to use the beo5 colour hard keys (green - yellow)

Maybe there is a special combination of beo4 commands to achieve this function... or it's simply a bug?

I was planning to visit my dealer today to take a look at this little new gadget. I know myself very well (so as my dealer), but after reading all the threats I better wait a bit longer, till all bugs are gone from the Beo5.

I better go for a this afternoon.

My beo5 is setup to send "green" and "yellow" on the << and >> hard key's, and works fine. it only works in sub folders under CD for the BS9000, which now works in the way I love

 But this procedure seems not to work with my HDR2  hard keys << and >> always do "previous" and "next" recordings, and not  "RW" "FF" like my other B&O products (DVD and CD) so I'm still forced to use the color beo5 hard keys (green - yellow)

Maybe there is a special combination of beo4 commands to achieve this function... or it's simply a bug?

Please, does someone can help me with this issue? any ideas... a hint ?

For info: the HDR2 is connected to the avantDVD via "VTAPE" scart. 

Thanks in advance. 

It's not a bug, it's a feature! According to the user manual you have to press
green or yellow in order to RW or FF.

Hi Gerd,

I know it, but I'm not talking about that.

Also the BS9000 works exactly in the same way, using the yellow and green keys for FF and RW, but I've asigned those "command colors" to the >> and << beo5 hard keys, if you know what I mean

OK, I understand.

Maybe because HDR2 is a OEM product, not B&O genuine?

What's the actual IR command for those keys now?

HDR2 is a genuine B&O product.

The IR commands now are : "0:000:VTR:CNTL_WIND" & "0:000:VTR:CNTL_REWIND"
and when I use the commands "0:000:VTR:WIND" & "0:000:VTR:REWIND" I get the same result :"next" and "previous" recordings

but never "Wind" and "Rewind" 

I think the problem is clearly located in the hard keys Beo5 "re-configuration".
