Hi,

If you have the correct software on your BeoVision 3 it should not be too difficult. I think you may have it set up incorrectly tho.  Go to Connections in the BV3 menu, select which ever AV scart you have the Sky + connected to press GO, then scroll through the options to find DTV/SAT and then press GO, your Set top box controller list should appear, scroll down to Pace sky + (or if Thompson Sky+ is listed then select that one instead), then press Go to store that. It will then ask you when you want the sky box to switch off, for it to Follow TV or Never switch off etc, choose which one you desire.

 Once all this has been stored, it should be plain sailing, but check the IR cable is plugged in to the TV and that the IR sensor is placed correctly on  the sky+ box (may need to play around with the placement).

I hope this helps.

Three things:-

1. Check your stb is listed in the menu as described previously in posts.

2. If not, a software update may be possible to include the particular make of box - if not your stuck!

3. If above OK then very important, ensure the small transmitter from your BV3 is stuck at the correct postion on the front of the box. It's very critical and a couple of mm can make the difference. Where the remote indicator light flashes on the front isn't necessarily where the reception sensor is! I make this last point because my dealer's 'technician' stuck it on the front off my Sky+ which didn't work. He shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing more he could do. When he left I experimented with moving the small transmitter and hey presto it worked.

OK I can follow exactly everything you listed up the point where it should ask me when I want the sky box to turn off, at that point when I press go it flashes the box list off then on and selects the pace sky+ option that i previously chose (thompson one not listed) then press go again it goes back to the main menu???

Any clues???

Thanx
