"OneRemote has added functionality to Beo4 to enable operation of third party and B&O equipment with just one remote, the B&O Beo4.
OneRemote's RMB4 solution adds a module inside the Beo4 converting B&O formatted IR data to data enabling operation of third party equipment.
The Beo4 with an RMB4 type 4317 solution suitable for a Panasonic plasma flat panel TV allows for operation of that TV and other types of B&O equipment at the same time.
When pressing the TV key the modified Beo4 starts transmitting IR data in a format complying with the Panasonic TV. This format remains until a different source is selected with the Beo4. When selecting RADIO the Beo4 returns to transmitting data in the B&O format required by the B&O radio.
This way operating a mixture of brands has been made easy.
With a B&O audio master connected to a third party TV the RMB4 module can be programmed to allow for TV sound to be transferred to the audio master and vice versa.
The addition of an RMB4 module to a Beo4 requires a skilled technician.
If the Beo4 has not been purchased already modified from an authorized dealer then the warranty conditions are most likely violated."
Also B&O und Samsung TV gleichzeitig.
Wenn Du dann noch auf die dbox für Fortgeschrittene 😁 - die Dreambox 500/600 - umsteigst link (aber mit ca. 165 Euro relativ teuer).
"The EXT module enables the use of a master TV's remote to operate a connected peripheral unit.
Peripherals to be operated with a B&O remote can be SAT receivers, cable TV decoders, VCRs, DVD players/recorders etc.
The peripheral is connected to the TV with the EXT AV Cable whereafter it can be operated with the B&O remote even though it is a third party manufacture.
Features:
EXT enables operation of all of the conncted unit's facilities, hard drive, switches or special menus.The operation is also possible from link rooms.
EXT turns on the connected unit when the corresponding TV input has been selected.
EXT has an automatic and intelligent 16:9 loop.
EXT has a high quality shielded AV cable.
EXT can be supplied with cable lengths 1.5, 2, 5, or 10 m. with 1.5 m being the standard delivery.
EXT can be used with an AV Splitter enabling a peripheral to be shared by several B&O TVs.
EXT can be used with an AV Selector, when the TV is short of input sockets.
EXT can be reprogrammed if the peripheral unit has to be replaced by a newer model or something completely different.
EXT enables the move of the peripheral not only away from the TV, but also out of sight as all data is tranferred via the cable from the TV.
Design:
EXT is microprocessor based and thus able to handle data from a B&O remote control. Data is normally carried via the TV's IR receiver and the AV cable from the TV. But data can also be carried via external IR receivers in connection with LCD flat panels, light controllers etc.
The microprocessor in the EXT module is programmed to convert data from the TV to data complying with the peripheral unit to be operated. Thus any command from the TV is immediately converted, and the peripheral receives data as if it came from its original remote.
Video and sound signals are carried from the peripheral to the TV via the EXT cable. Information about an automatic 16:9 change is transmitted too, when the aspect ratio is changed. Intelligent scanning ensures that the TV remains in the correct aspect ratio even if the preripheral is inactive for some time.
The EXT electronics are micro components on a micro circuit board built into the AV connector at one end of the cable.
Control data are transmitted to the peripheral's IR receiver via an IR transmitting diode.
Connection:
The EXT AV cable replaces the standard AV cable normally used for connection of TV and peripheral, and the only visible difference is the tiny wire with the IR transmitting diode attached to the connector at the peripheral.

PS: Ich würde aber - wenn es denn Beo 4 sein muss - Lintronik wählen... der Support scheint sehr gut zu sein. Die Beo 5 finde ich absolut zu schwer/groß/unhandlich/unzappbar...
