I was going to ask if I could control the TV just using the BeoRemote One directly. Is that even an option?You can pair it over BT with the LG TV but it won't be of much use. I think only the cursor, volume and power off works. No enter, no back, no home key. Pretty much useless. In my setup it's working fine but you have to build a little converter box. link

That may be just fine because I'm really using the LG TV as a monitor. My needs are modest. I just need power on and power off for the TV. Volume and input control is all handled by the BS3. I know there is some video manipulation, but my wife and I both like the effect and I plan to go through a full calibration soon to bring everything up to HD standard. I'd like to use the remote to turn on TV, my cable box, and the BS3. Channel control would be on the cable box, volume on the BS3.
The Non-B&O Monitor setting are Generic and Panasonic Screen. Do you knoe if thast can be updated to include LG Screen? Is that a possibility?
Would it be an option to connect an Apple TV to the lg oled, and then running optical to coax from the LG oled to the BS3?
that way you can use a BeoRemote one BT as this can be paired with the Apple TV.
You will. It have those curtains, but how many hoops will you jumpy through to get that working?

I have the Apple TV device - in my case an Apple Mac Mini connected to the BS3. I want all my audio devices connected to my BS7000 and all my video devices connected to the BS3. The video monitor is the LG OLED TV. My desire is to have all the devices controlled with a Beo4 or BeoRemote One. I can figure out the Beo4 and cable box remote, but would love to simplify everything down to a single remote for my family.
dmacri, what are all the video sources you plan to connect to the BS3?
Leosgonewild got me thinking this idea: what if you connect an AppleTV to the LG, only make a PUC connection between the BS3 and the Apple TV. Now when you wake the BS3 with the Beo4, the BS3 awakes the AppleTV through PUC, and the AppleTV awakes the LG (using CEC). How it all shuts down I am not sure yet :-).
You can (daily) control an Apple TV with your Beo4, it could/should be hat your BS3 already has an AppleTV PUC.
To make this an option for you, your Apple TV should be able to run the content that your cablebox supplier provides (through an app). I would reckon that an AppleTV can get to your Mac mini content somehow.
Just a thought!

My B&O Icons:
I have my HDDVR cable box, my Mac Mini, an XBox Series One X, and a Sony Ultra BluRay player as my video sources, my BS7000 as my audio sources connected through MasterLink. I'm using the AppleTV PUC to control the Mac Mini which is my Apple Music server. If the projector selections could be modified to control the LG, that might be my best option.
