Confusion

2 replies

I have a couple of things that are confusing me:

I currently have configation tool 1.2, am I unable to control 3rd party products directly using this version.

 

If I can find a copy of 1.32 will this allow me to cotrol my Humax HD without an IR cable.

 

If I can find a copy of 1.32 will this upgrade the firmware of my Beo5 at the same time.

 

Having moved house a trip to a dealer now involves a ferry, and a long car drive. I am trying to avoid this at all costs.

You have raised a few points and the following are the answers:-

QUESTION -- "I currently have configation tool 1.2, am I unable to control 3rd party products directly using this version."

ANSWER -- You will need a later version of the Beo5 Configuration Tool to allow 3rd Party products to work correctly.

QUESTION -- "If I can find a copy of 1.32 will this allow me to control my Humax HD without an IR cable"

ANSWER -- YES, provided you have made an XML file for the Humax HD or someone has provided it to you.

QUESTION -- "If I can find a copy of 1.32 will this upgrade the firmware of my Beo5 at the same time."

ANSWER -- YES, but you would need to get version 2.2

For further information I suggest you review the Beo5 web pages
