qweicc, please contact James Pyne - showroom manager in the Burke Street Melbourne Branch. He has all the configuration and template files for Australila including Foxtel HD+ and all icons. I have also seen this working very well in his showroom including teh Beo 5 controllilng a PS3 in a Beoliving Cinema Projection concept via the BS3

 Tell him I recommended you. He is a good guy who knows B&O well.

Thank you Burnix for clearing that up.

Actually the Beo5 has four LEDs in the top part, but the last one is a standard red LED that some of you might have noticed turning on for a short time when powering up the Beo5. That of course makes a total of four LEDs, but it still only has three IR LEDs.

I have my Beo5 natively controlling a STB, Apple TV and HD DVD Player connected to my 20 year old MX 5000 TV ...
How did you get that to work? So you are not using the STBc inside the TV (doubt your 20 year old has that to begin with).

Hi Alex

This mean that with both: new last firmware and configuration tool software... beo5 finally can control directly non-B&O devices, exclusively via their own IR emitter ?? (without a B&O stb-controller)

Kind of.
