How does the Beo5 connect to the PS3 with STB controller? Via the TV -> HDMI cable -> PS3? How is the PS3 STB controller added to the TV?

Via TV -> IR Blastercable -> Nyko USB IR dongle in the PS3.

If you doesn't have the "Sony Playstation 3" under your "Media" page in the STB menu of the TV, then your dealer can add it to your list(If you have a newer B&O tv). You need to ask your dealer if you can have the STB table changed.

I got a tv with the STB control for the ps3... so i guess i still need the dongle, but using the default template from the beo5 config, right?
Yes, you need the dongle, and you just use the default template for your Beo5. Remember to set the logical connection in the config tool, to assign the PS3 in the config tool, to the same input source (f.ex V.AUX) you have connected the ps3 to, in the tv menu.

And also the IR cable from the tv to the dongle of course :)

timhanna:
But doesnt the default beo5 config tool have this? Why would someone download the one on beoworld?

The one available for download is for direct use of PS3 with Nyko dongle, without the use of the built-in STB controller of the tv. If you have a B&O tv with the "Sony Playstation 3" codes, then you don't need the one available for download.

If you have a Beo5 but a tv without PUC controller, or without the "ps3" option in your tv, AND you have the PS3 located where the Beo5 can see it, then you can use the one for download.

The Config Tool doesn't include ANY products that you can configure the Beo5 to control without the built in STB controller of the TV.

Sorry if this has already been answered by id like to double check,
can i confirm if the following USB Dongle can perform all the functionality of controlling the PS3?
Nyko BLU-Wave Dongle
Also, what is the difference between that and the B&O Beo5 Template that dealers have?

Nyko is the dongle that the "Sony Playstation 3" STB is developed for. And it can control "all" of the PS3, at least it can control what needs to play DVD/BR and navigate in menus and so on.

Thanks Keith.

I have named the buttons "Menu4,..." because if you have differents no-B&O xml in the same configuration and there are some buttons with the same name it's possible that it doesn't work, but it works for other product.
