Yes, it's unfortunate the only one on the list.

As Keith already mentioned, the PUC controller is able to control several DVD players. But that is not an easiest/cheapest option.

Ok, the ps3 costs more than a second hand DVD controller and a separate DVD player. But it handles DVD's fine and has the advantage of streaming videocontents via the pc, internet or mediadevice.

I have a ps3 also connected to a avant RF DVD. And it works fine. I've bought a beamer which is connected through hdmi if I want the real thing. It makes it easier not to buy a plasma for having a bigger screen..

Is that the only one Beobuddy?

Its just that since I went to the effort of fitting a new STB-C chip I'd like to use it for something!

I don't need freeview or any type of DVR. It won't work with the V+ box. Would love it if I could use it with a normal DVD player rather than shelling out for a PS3 which is a bit over the top since I don't play games and I won't see any benefit with BluRay on an Avant.

k984942:

Keith (or anyone else), can you suggest a DVD player that is fully compatible with my the 4.01 STB-C?

A playstation 3 is on the 4.01 list.

As you have already noted, there is not much available in terms of DVD players controlled by the STB-C

However, you may wish to consider a B&O DVD controller which will control the following DVD players:-

Onkyo DV-S525
Panasonic DMR-E50
Panasonic DMR-E53/DMR-E55
Panasonic DVD-A360
Panasonic DMR-EH54D
Philips DVD950
Philips DVDR70/DVDR75
Philips DVDR80
Philips VR200
Philips HDRW720
Pioneer DVDR-3100
Pioneer DVR-530H/DVR-630H
Sony RDR-GX3/RDR-GX7
Sony RDR-HX1010
Sony RDR-GX210

OK, I have now fitted that latest Western Europe chip (4.01 I think) and as Keith said, it does NOT control the V+ box!

I am now pretty much resided to the fact that I won't be able to do much about this (short of buying a new B&O TV). I am now looking for a normal SD DVD player that is controllable using the STB.

I've had a look through the list STB list but do not recognise a single STB as being a DVD player! They all appear to be freeview boxes or Hard Drive recorders.

Keith (or anyone else), can you suggest a DVD player that is fully compatible with my the 4.01 STB-C?

k984942:
Thanks for the information on the latest STB table for an Avant.
The thing is, I can't seem to see Virgin V+ on this list, yet my dealer is in the process of ordering me the chip as he claims V+ is on the list!
Can anyone clarify this please? If he's wrong I still have time to cancel the order.
Also, as I'm not familiar with all the devices in the list, can anyone suggest which are DVD players?
Thanks for your help as always

Does no one know that answer to this guys?

You help would really be appreciated

Well, perhaps we can open the question up to other Beoworld members who may have a Beo5 and an Xbox.

If anyone has an Xbox and a Beo5 with the configuration software, then I can provide an XML file for you to test.

Unfortunately I don't, but thanks for the offer. I searched the forum for Xbox, and it seemed to hint at it being for the original, but I couldn't find a post from someone who'd actually tried it.

I haven't got a BS3 yet (on the plan for next year sometime!), as that's what I'd be wanting to control MCE with. Weebyx has managed to control it using any old STB profile (being a PC, you can bodge it to accept any IR command and translate it to something Media Center might understand), but understandably it being able to do it off the bat would be far more preferable!

Thanks for the help!

Whilst I would expect it to be the Xbox 360, I don't know for sure.

However, if you have a Beo5 I can provide an XML file for you to test. If it works or not in the Beo5 will provide the answer..

Keith Saunders:

Products in the "Home Media" section which dealers can download into the PUC are:-
Microsoft Xbox

Thanks Keith. You wouldn't happen to know if that's the original Xbox or the Xbox 360? Would seem a bit strange to have PS3 and original Xbox.

If it's 360, we're in business as Windows Media Center can be controlled with the Xbox 360 remote.
