I had a friend who kept doing this with my Sky box linked to an avant - turned out he was holding down go for too long - needs to be two presses quite quickly and pointing at the TV. One long press of go causes the last thing played to resume or goto planner if it has been deleted.

If it's jumping to the planner, then the TV is sending the 'play' command not the 'select' command. I don't think the box could have anything to do with it. Play is Go (long hold) or Go + 2 sec timeout delay - so somehow, this is what the TV is registering.

If it's intermittent, it really does point to the remote rather than a fault with the PUC programming or other issue

Sky standard didn't have a play command, so per the command list the two separate commands for 'select' and 'play' for Plus/HD both carried out the 'select' function on Sky Digital.

The logical suggestion would be to test another Beo4.

If the problem still exists, then something's up with the TV (or the way you're operating the remote, but it's hard to see how you could do it incorrectly!). If the problem doesn't exist, then your Beo4 is faulty.

GO GO is select, as you rightly point out.

GO and leaving alone for about 5 seconds will cause 'play' to be pressed. This will jump you into the Planner to choose a program to play.

Therefore the obvious issue is it's only registering one of the GO's. Maybe if the batteries aren't the issue, the button's wearing out?

Hi Guys

When using my beo4 sometimes will scroll through choose the programme i want press go go to select and will default to planner will happen two or three times then will select correctly. I have changed the batteries just in case.

When using the beo5 there are no problems whatsoeve,r so must be the beo4 signal

Anyone any ideas what causes this weird situation

your help appreciated
