Not sure if this is the right place to post, so mods, please move it to the proper place if this isn't it.

We have a Bang & Olufsen Beo5 remote that is currently programmed to control our Beosound 9000, which it does well. However, we would like for it to function as a universal remote to control our TV (Samsung), DVD (Samsung), Reciever (Onkyo) and possibly our Dish Network reciever and as an on/off for our Spark fireplace.

Basically, we'd like to consolidate 6 remotes down to 1 (the Beo5).

I understand that the Beo5 is coded to control other Bang & Olufsen equipment only at this time, but there is a hack that allows it to control non-B&O equipment. We don't have a lot of money to put towards this project, but if anyone with experience and interest in helping out is available, we would be willing to pay a reasonable fee to have them come out and get this set-up for us.

Please PM me with interest/references/credentials.


Thanks,

DavidV :D

Have you checked with your local dealer in Union Square? I believe dealers have a software application which enables them to program your remote to work with certain non-B&O equipment. Depending on your relationship with your dealer, it may cost you nothing, a nominal fee, or some standard fee. Not having a Beo5 myself, I don't know what the charge is for this. The Union Square dealer has their Beo5 working with an Apple TV unit, so I know this is definitely possible.
