Without an ir-eye you can't control the BS3.

I’ve had success with one from a VX5000, so you may be able to use older models too.

Once you get the IR sensor installed, you may have to use the reset command from the Beo4 to put the BS3 in safe mode until you reset the output resolution to one your tv will accept.
