Hi Sean,

Join the club! I have a Sky HD box as well as the built in DVD Tuner in the BV7-40 Mark III. Having SKy I obviously use that rather than the built in tuner for channel choice etc. However, when I turn on the TV every day - I have to use V.AUX, so on a Beo 4 for example its: List... V.AUX... Go... it turns on the TV but NOT the Sky box, which it should, simultaneously. The way round it is to then press Go... 1... 1... and that switches on the Sky box! Quite bizarre, but hope that helps. At the end of the day I am personally not too fussed as I have got used to it, and the good thing about the Beo 5 remote (which is currently being programmed to control my Lutron dim settings throughout the home) is that it can run/execute a series of commands at once - think macros in PC terms - so in essence, buying and using a Beo 5 is the answer! In that way, you can get the desired result at the push of a single button!

The BeoVision 7 MkIII has power management features. I've found that if peripherals are coming out of sync, it's generally because those power management settings are incorrect.

It is true that the Beo 5 will offer you more flexibility, but you shouldn't need it just to keep the boxes in sync.  

Hi Sean, I have a pronto and it does support the B&O frequency. It can also use an RF extender to control hidden equipment or trigger screens lowering and so forth.

Configuration of the pronto is not exactly easy but I guess that is part of it being so powerful. You configure it all from a PC.

I found it was easiest to start with an example file from http://www.remotecentral.com/files/index.html and modify that to suit my needs.

The problems with the Sky box switch on could be one of two issues.  Firstly it could be a set-up problem, for instance if you have set your BV7 to never switch off your STB but the Sky box has it's power save mode on, then itwill switch itself to standby and the BV7 does not know to turn it on because it thinks it is already on.  In this instance change you STB setting to switch off at standby and you should not see the problem again.  The second issue is related to the PUC software switching off the STB when it shouldn't and that has been resolved in the latest SW release (no idea of the the actual number - sorry, but you could ask your dealer).

Put simply the Sky box should switch on without a problem if all the elements are set-up correctly.

hello all

thanks for the replies

well i have the standby option off it always has been.

also 

last night when i came home i pressed V.MEM and my tv came on but no sky hd box switch on (power manadgment set to off at source change) i pressed Go 1 + 1 but nothing

i looked at the sky box while pressing buttons on the beo4 and it only flashes red for a responce when using up down left or right

once on it works noramlly

i had the power manadgment set to always on and it woudl not respond to the other buttons until i pressed a number first.

I had a pronto years ago and i think i might get one and bypass the PUC as since i have had this TV all i have had is problems with it, firstly 4.24 tc crashes for months and had to prove to B&o that it was broken as the usual responce is no one else has this problems

and i fear it may be harder this time as its only myself who seems to have this problem.
