Finally sorted this issue and have the software running properly.

Can't get the software to see the remote when connected ?

How do I check the driver is loaded correctly ?

Hi everyone.

So this relates to a Beo5 firmware 1.45b running config S/W 5.12 on an XP laptop

So I am getting somewhere, have software running have created a simple config and downloaded it.

All of a sudden the battery level is zero was working great, and it does have fully charged new batteries any ideas on that ?

so here's my setup, hope I have it explained well.

Beosystem 3 (UK version) connected to Beovision 4

I have 3 sources connected. internal tuners disabled, everything works 100% using a Beo4 remote

All 3 inputs have IR Blasters connected

1,     AV1, source TV, Thompson Sky+HD box DRX890WL, HDMI A

2,     AV2, Source DTV, Apple TV, HDMI B

3,     AV3, Source DVD, Sony PS3 with NYKO remote

I also have a Sonos box connected to AV4 as an audio only source, only need to switch to this don't expect to be able to control it

Any help on how to programme this or missing codes etc would be gratefully received.

Regards

Richard
