Afraid the answer is no, shame as I doubt many people have anything connected to the RF connection.

I have a faint memory of reading that on some TVs you can configure the TV command to actually select DTV - but of course this will only help if you really don't need the internal analogue tuner for anything.

I don't know if the BV8 was one of these TVs, hopefully somebody who knows will spot this thread. Alternatively, search the forums for the old thread.

the newer tv's have the option to turn off the anologue tuner. Then the tv button turns on the digital tuner.

Yes you can do this on your 8-40 (may need a software update), so a couple of the response above are incorrect

I think the option in the menu is "tuner setup"  and you get the option to enable and disable the analogue and Digital tuners.  If you disable analogue, and leave the digital tuner active then TV turns on your digi tuner.  You can then re-assign DTV to another source

Thanks for the info.

I tried you suggestion, it worked!

Switching off the TV tuner AND selecting "tv" as the input in the connections screen makes the keyring work!

One action left: I need to adjust my Beo5 now since this is set to control the DTV. Nice job, but this has to wait a couple of days....

Thanks again for the info!

thanks for the info!  another use for the keyring

What a shame you cannot do anyting like that with the older TV's. All I ever use my keyring for is to turn on the lights as I get home.😂

Why not? If you don't use the analogue tuner, you can configure your STB as decoder and "TV" will then turn the set on with that. I've got my MX6000 set up that way. V.TAPE can still be used for the other SCART.

Can you do this on a BV3-32? Also think it would make the STB controller useless. As it only works when SAT/DTV is pressed.
