Hi all!

I am a lucky owner of a BV3-32 and a AV9000, and I am using Apple TV and also digital "on demand" TV a lot through settop boxes.
In my current configuration I am using "v.mem" / "v.tape" assigned to Apple TVs and "v.aux" in the list menu for the STB.
All works fine and its also controlled perfectly via a Lintronic box, since none of the TVs are equipped with a built in STB controller card.

But, it annoys me that I can't figure out how to assign the digital box ( I have one Motorola for the BV-3 and a Sagem for the AV9000) to the DTV button? Or the SAT button for the BEO4 for the AV 9000. DTV and SAT are basically the same function, right?

The scarts can be assigned with Decoder, V.TAPE or NON B&O and it works fine using v.mem, v.tape (2) DVD2 etc, using the list menu, but since there now is a DTV (SAT) button on the remote, how do I assign it to one of the scarts?

Any input is velcome..

You will not be able to assign DTV button to anything. That is a limitation in the BV3. That is changed in later Beovisions, where DTV can be assigned to any input. In e.g. BV10 you also can assign the TV button to other inputs, than the built in digital tuner.

Thanks for your quick reply, Claes!

So then I assume it's definitly not possible to use on an older AV9000 either :(

Not the answer I was hoping for, but at least I can stop messing around with it and settle for using the commands in the "list" menues.. :-)

I´m sure it´s the same thing with your AV9000.

On my BV3-32 I can assign STB (and also PC) on the connection menu, so it will start by pressing the SAT button on the Beo4. I think it's related to the software version.

Hi, I have a type 8810 with software version 16.3. I also have a STB contoller (I dont't know if this matter). You can find the software version by pressing menu->setup->00 GO->monitor

Hi Lano,

It turns out I have : 06 IC3 (AP): SW  8.6  and 06 IC2 (IOP): SW 22.0  and 32 IC607 (AC3): SW 1.8   EPROM ver. 011 and my Type is: 8800

So I assume my set is older than yours..

I'll have a word with my dealer about an upgrade, I hope he can do it in my home, moving those 80 Kg is no fun… ;-)

Thanks for your help, Iano!

...btw..does anyone know what AP and IOP is? I assume AC3 is the software revision for the surround module, am I right?

Also, It would be interesting to know what features or fixes i would get if upgrading,  more than just being able to use the DTV button..

Thanks,

Peter
