Since B&O has to do everything differently then the rest of the known universe....
does anyone know of any universal remotes that will also broadcast the B&O frequencies
(I heard of one recently but it - surprise surprise - was obscenely expensive)
as I recall the beo5 does not control non-B&O stuff unless there is a lot of extra hardware?

The Logitech Harmony range of remotes work with B&O. I have one and love it!! I don't use my Beo4 anymore....
Michael,
The Beo5 is capable of controlling 99.9% of 3rd party products (non B&O) directly (i.e. without extra hardware.)

without extra hardware
... but you need a piece of software from B&O, that is very difficult to get, you also need small XML files that describe the remote's codes...
... or you need your B&O dealer to do it for you, or, as you'll see on the advert below, someone can do it for you.

True, but the question clearly stated, "without extra hardware"

I have done what Keith "suggests" with great results!

Hi
Also Philips Prestigo works fine with B&O. I use it to control B&O and Loewe. Like jldmelb, I prefer to use the Philips. It is much easier to use than Beo4.

What are the specific Logitech and/or Philips remotes that people like that work with the B&O?
There appears to be zillions of models and it is hard to find one that I like and will work with B&O...... and will probably need to buy online so returning it might be a problem

....and I tend to like the Philips since I have one of their TVs

Hi
My Philips is called Prestigo, but the real name is SRU8015. I do not know what it is called today. It was a year ago I bought it.
