Hello Keith,
I have the template installed and all, but it wont react. So the question is how the signal will transfer to the PS3?

You must order this remote an ir reciver, then it will work: http://www.nyko.com/nyko/products/?i=113
But not on/off
I hope I get mine soon and come back to you
Kalle,
The simple fact is that the Playstation 3 is non IR, so no matter what IR remote you are using it will need a converter, so ....mr Anders(son) is quite right in his suggestion.

and I have tested another one I bought here in sweden but it didnt work.
So now I am waiting for my Nyko to arrive
I can't vouch that this would actually work, since I haven't noticed the PS3 in the PUC, but you can follow the instructions at this website: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=761809 and thereby allow for the possibility that the BeoSystem can talk to it with an IR flasher.
As far as the Beo 5, though, if you're implying that perhaps the Beo 5 could work directly, it's not likely. It will be a long time, if ever, before the Beo 5 starts taking on more "universal remote" type features. Despite its perceived capabilities, right now it's a Beo 4 you can personalize. It will certainly develop over time to communicate directly with other products, but it is likely that anything that would ordinarily be connected through the PUC will continue to be in a Beo 5 world.
I hope this helps. Until a better Blu-Ray player comes about, I'm sure interest in the PS3 will remain high.
