Beo5 will be able to control non-B&O products if connected to P.U.C. equipped B&O tvs.

If I understood correctly...

Cheers, Laurent.

Yes only B&O.

It can control some curtains and projector screens but i don't know if it's the remote thats sends the Ir or if  it's the beoliving box (don't know the real name for this system modul🙂)!

Peripheral Unit Controller 

The Beo5 has three IR transmitting diodes for controlling B&O and other products. Clearly B&O wish to limit "the other products" to vendors it has approved, meaning they have a business partnership relationship with them, for example Lutron for lights

It will control all STB's which are defined in the current STB controller table (PUC is the new B&O name for STB)

So, in answer to your real question "so who's right" I guess they both are.. The device itself can control non B&O products, but B&O almost certainly want to limit which ones they will allow you to use.

fitted, are they on the list by any chance? 

Hi,

 Here is where the confusion may come from.

Let's say you have a sky box (a stb). With the Beo 5, it is still controled by the PUC or STB-C from the TV itself.

The difference, is that you can configure the Beo5 and tell it that behind DTV there is a sky box.

What it then does is display on the screen buttons with names that correspond to the Sky box features. For example, Instead of Go 1 for Info, you'll have an "Info" button on the Beo 5.

That said, it will still send a Go-1 signal, which will be interpreted by the TV and the PUC will convert it into the "Info" code for the Sky Box.

Beo5 will be able to control other devices, not through the PUC but it does seem reserved to "environment" devices, such as light and curtains, etc...
