Hello everybody
Is it possible to modify the PUC list for the 4 HDMI on a BV 7.40 mk3 myself ?
Do I need a b&o seller to change the list (add or remove components : cd/bluray, recorder, decoder ....) ?
How can I update the list ?
Thanks for your precious help
Best regards
OLivier

Olivier,
The short answer is NO
The long answer is the fact that the Beovision 7 PUC is configured and downloaded using a software service tool and special cable only available to the B&O dealers and installers.
Even if you were to have the Service tool software and special cable, then you would need access to the DEC file produced by B&O for each third party product which defines the IR codes to be sent etc. So, even a B&O dealer would find it very difficult to make modifications to the PUC files, all they can do is use the already created files to add to your configuration which will be serialised and downloaded to you BV7 PUC.

Hello Keith
Thanks for your answer.I found your previous post about this issue.
Do you know if an apple tv or a sony ps3 is already on the list from 2008 ?
If I buy a beo6, I should be able to control this kind of device without using the PUC, am I wrong ?
Thanks

You can find a complete list of 3rd party products which can be added to teh PUC HERE
You can control the Apple TV and PS3 via the PUC. You can also control the Apple TV and PS3 DIRECTLY i.e. not using the PUC with an associated XML file for those products added to the B&O Configuration Tool.
Thanks for the link.
Should I buy a beo6 or a beo5 is still usefull for this ?

Clearly, the Beo6 is newer and still a current product, but either will meet your needs.
The biggest benefit in my view of the Beo6 from a user viewpoint is the touch screen which is much better than the Beo5 screen, in fact you can no longer get replacement Beo5 screens, if a Beo5 needs to be repaired, you can only replace it with a Beo6 screen and electronics.
Thanks Keith for your precious advice :)
