- the BV 6-26 are each in a different rooms and linked to the BV 7-40 with a masterlink cable and the additional coax cable.

Hi,
I have the following situation: a Beovision 7-40 from 2007 and 2 Beovision 6-26 also from 2007. The TVs are in three different rooms and the setup is as follows:
Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
I am guessing that the previous set-top box also had a SCART connection between it and the BV7. As far as I am aware, the BV7 will not distribute digital (hdmi) signals to remote televisions. Therefore if the new set top box only has a hdmi connection to the TV, then the signal will ot be sent to the BV6s.
If you can confirm that the above is indeed is the case there may be a workaround involving an hdmi splitter and hdmi to SCART converter. However, it would be a bit pointless doing this if you can't then control the main TV channels from the BV6 link rooms, so see below.
As far as controlling the new set top box goes, the TV has to be pre-programed with the IR codes that will then be sent through the IR blaster lead to be received by an IR sensor on the front of the STB. Programming the BV7 is a B&O dealer/technician task. If you have the TV manual it may show you how to check if you TV already has the Ocilion IR codes in its database, but I doubt that it will be there unless you have used Ocilion devices in the past.

In addition to what Guy writes, a solution would be to use additional boxes on each BV6-26.
Alternatively to use ATV’s - looking up the Ocilion website there is an app that lets you enjoy all that the box can offer.
Streaming via chromecast from a mobile device also seems to be an option.
I agree that you most likely won’t find any Ocilion PUCs in the tv’s.
It is a tricky situation - I am afraid that you will never get back the ease of use that you had previously.
On the other hand you may gain new possibilities (streaming from video services and alike) from a new Ocilion setup.
