Using a wireless keyboard with Beyonwiz V2

[klb]

Hi

I have connected a 2.4Ghz wireless keyboard to the usb port on beyonwiz v2. Does anyone know what keys or key combinations work to control the Beyonwiz?

TIA

Not many. Arrow keys work in the same way as the arrow keys on the remote, and ENTER/RETURN is OK. Keyboards sold by Beyonwiz have some buttons that are labelled with icons that may work (and that may be the same with other keyboards). I think that normal alphanumeric keys work as expected in text entry boxes. I think that some of the Fn function keys actually do something (I think the high-numbered ones correspond to the remote's coloured buttons). DEL and BACK may work as BACK and EXIT, but I can't remember which.

I really only found out by experimentation, and it's a very long time since I used a keyboard on a Beyonwiz (which may reflect how useful I found them in real life). If you're hoping to use the keyboard as a fully-functioning remote that can also do text entry, you may be disappointed, but try it, and see how it goes.

Not sure if it will meet your needs, but Openwebif can be used to control a Beyonwiz PVR; it has a full onscreen RCU.

Thanks, I have done a bit of trial and error and it seems only a few keys actually are recognised by the Beyonwiz.  I was hoping I could get it to work more like it does with the Icebox.

I forgot to say that for the keys that are recognised by the Beyonwiz, long presses work as expected.
