On my (non-joystick) Beo4 EXIT corresponds to Menu, and GO corresponds to Select.

Yes I did manage to teach all 6 buttons.  From memory I think that I too used EXIT and GO.  

Again from memory, I either used a Humax or PACE/SKY PUC - there's about 4 pages in my list so I can't remember exactly sorry!

I have tried a number of PUC from the list and I can teach the Beo4 the first 4 commands (up, down, left, right), but not the last 2 (Select and Menu).

You are actually 'teaching' the ATV, rather than the Beo4.  Anyway, when I tried this I found that in order for the PUC to transmit sufficiently for the ATV to recognise sound of the commands, I had to press the Beo4 buttons repeatedly (and fast) whilst watching the ATV's 'IR receipt' progress bar move across the screen.  I had to try a number of difference PUCs before I got it to work.

 

I have now taught my ATV the six commands. 😀I chose the first STB in the PUC list and pressed the Beo4 buttons repeatedly and fast like you said. Some of the commands required to be pressed a lot of times, but it worked. I don’t think many people know your “trick” I was told that it was impossible to do without having a technician to put ATV into the PUC list on the television.

Thank you very much for your clever advice.

^ Great news that it worked - glad to help! 🙂
