Hi, the problem everyone has is that as well as a 'DVI' switcher you have to simultaneously switch audio via scart, so you'll need a couple of switching boxes at the very least, and you will not have remote control of one of them from a BEO4. Happy to be corrected on this, but the problem is not the HDMI/DVI but the simultaneous switching of the scart.

BV5 HD multiple digital inputs controlled via Beo 5 remote?

Hi, my BeoVision 5 HD has a single DVI input currently used by a Virgin HD+ box (via an hdmi to Dvi cable for picture and optical/coaxial convertor for 5.1 sound) I would like to add a Sony PS3 as a Blueray player, however I would rather not be switching cables around... more importantly the wife would kill me if she had to!

I have found this switcher: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Snakebyte-Premium-HDMI-Selector-Xbox/dp/B000NJZTCW/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1273249045&sr=8-14 which appears to accept both hdmi and optical cables and then send a single signal to the TV depending on which source is selected. I was wondering if:

a) A Beo 5 remote could control this?

b) Whether a macro could be written for the Beo 5 controller to switch between sources, or

c) If anyone has any other suggestions as to how I could attach 2 or more digital sources to the TV?

Any suggestions gratefully received
