Beo5 Recover

18 replies

I after reviving and replacing the battery from my old Beo 5 I will embark in setting up movie room.

I have a PS3 on a IR/Bt adapter, SkyBox (amstrad drx890-z) and a Samsug 42ES6710

1) Any later firmware than 1.45b?

2) Any XML on SkyBox/Samsung TV

3) Anyone have something for Dreambox 500s?

A Very Warm Welcome to Beoworld...

  1. Your Firmware is fine.
  2. There is a recent posting with a Samsung XML which has been tested
  3. You will need to find on the web in Pronto HEX format the IR codes for Dreambox 500 which can then be converted.

I have obtained from the internet the following files

or

does it help?

Using the Pronto HEX codes you have found I have produced an XML file with just a few commands for you to test to make sure they work before we go any further.

Attached is a ZIP file containing the test XML file. Please extract teh ZIP file to C:\ and it will automatically be added to the correct directory in teh B&O Configuration Tool.

Please provide feedback on how well these few commands work.

sorry for the delayed response but battery died. will get new one on friday.

apat, Do you use the sky box connected to a B&O tv?

Nope. Standalone

Ah I've been trying to get that working for years. Can you please email me the XML file for it? Thanks :- D

Chris,,,,I have installed both of the attached XMLs and use part functions of one and part functions of the other to control my Amstrad SKY DRX890-Z.

It would be great if someone could merge them into one.

For reference we need to start from the Amstrad SKY XML file where Help, TV Guide, Options, BoxOffice, Mute and wheel/button functions all work.

From the Thomson XML file we would need to merge the POWER, SKY,  Interactive, Backup & UP/Down (inner wheel) to the Amstrad one...

 

apat,

You have not provided feedback with regards to the Dream 500 ?
