Bose ist hier ein Schimpfwort. Solange die Lautsprecher aktiv sind, kann man schon non B&O anschliessen. Fuer die Mac Frage, ich mach des mit der Beo 4 und IRED/IRTRANS (http://www.filewell.com/iRed/) , das sollte ohne Probleme mit der Beo5 funktionieren. Fast Scrolling in Frontrow is ein bisschen tricky, kann man aber ueber "Page Up Page Down"

Is the Sky+ box HD? If so I would recommend the component connection (audio must go into scart in this case but it doesn' require a full scart cable to go to the box). The scart to 3 phono connection will not give you the best picture and it won't carry any power, just audio and video. Also I think you are confused about the STB. The BV8 has

@Mark If you buy a DVD1 from Europe, out of the box the are region coded so they will not play US DVDs. I think they can be switched to "region free" but I do not know what that involves. So make sure you either get a region free one or find a way to get that done. I still think the BC2 is a very good choice even without upscaling. I don't

>>At the moment it would be a main room set for me, and should serve that purpose well.<< I think it does, I am using it like that. I can attach 2 sources for high def which for me right now is just ATV and at some point maybe cable. I don't really see a need for more down the line. I just would stick to a B&O DVD player in that

The BV8 is relatively new, I don't think they will upgrade that soon. The DVD1 / BV8 will not be able to compete with the Arcam/Kuro combination but it doesn't have too. The Kuro is larger and has a much higher resolution so when connecting a DVD1 you will see PQ issues that will not show up on the lower resolution/smaller BV8. Additional HDMIs

I would not recommend Ebay either. Why I think the BC2 can be easily shipped, most sold are MK1 and I would want MK2 as there were significant improvements in the user interface. For BS9000, it is fragile and while I got mine off ebay the discount was so large that some 500$ for repairs would still have made it a good deal. Both is really really pleasant

I have both as well. I think difference is sound is there but it comes down to taste. The BS9000 is definitely a design icon and will always be. I do agree with Peter, I don't like the covered buttons for usability on the BS9000, for looks it's a must though. What I do is, I have CDs that I like very much in my BS9000 and I do not switch much

The picture quality from the BC2 is good. I have the 32" and sit maybe 10 feet from it. I had HD content on my Apple TV and while you can see the difference to a DVD it doesn't make much difference. It it is a bit sharper but not that much that I would turn to rent HD content from the Itunes store over borrowing a DVD. I think the annoying

One more thing, at some point the Wii will have a DVD player. Not sure if old ones can be upgraded and how that will work but it is definitly on the horizon once demand in the US comes back in line.
