My method was a little wreckless, i had nothing to lose really... both beo1 and mac remote were sitting in cupboard unused. I fiddled with the mac remote for a while to understand the physics of it. I decided to be brutal and pull off the IR cover, take out the battery slide and then tear the white plastic casing carefully away from the grey innards

The title says it all, all i had to do was swap the innards of the imac remote with the Beo1's, and voila, the buttons <<, >ll, >>, MENU all work and it's great, cost me nothing but an hour of my time :D Now my mac can act sort of like a BeoSound5, i can use front row, or simply scroll through the tracks, or wake / sleep the iMac

Or you could just get a beoport (PC office / PC2)they're cheap as chips on lifestyle av's webpage :)

You give an inch...

[quote user="Puncher"] Still prefer the "close to the floor" look - purposeful, rather than on a genric "TV stand". [/quote] Precisely. Close to the floor (judging only by the photo) gives it a stately prescence, it looks cheap / flimsy imho, on its standard stand. Lets make it happen, it should at least be an option..

[quote user="Divingnut"] In the market for the BeoVision 10-40, however I don't like the way the TV sits 10cm high on the base. it just looks wrong Does anyone know how easy it would be to shorten or lower the pole so the TV sits just suspended off the base, just as the gorgeous BeoVision 5 did. I've photoshopped how I think it should

[quote user="dilznik"] Frankly, everything should be optical in this day and age but the BS4 was the first "modern" device and... where's the optical input? [/quote] Amen to that! There's not really an excuse, it wouldn't cost them much, would it?? It costs us alot compensating for it though. I'd like to add, i'd

Yes, steve is really great from my experience too, I'll never buy cable from B&O again
