  • Re: Sky HD &DVD Avant?

    I forgot you said Sky HD .... In my situation, I only have sky+ and the problem was recftified by turning the 'Scart Control' to 'Off' in Picture Settings. I assume being HD you have HDMI connections and not scart so this won't work... Sorry!

  • Re: Sky HD &DVD Avant?

    Had the same problem with a BV8-40. I think the dealer recommended changing something on the Sky picture menu - maybe switching off scart control? I'll have a look later if no one else comes up with a more definitive answer in the meantime.

  • Re: iPad + Apple TV = The better Beosound/Beomaster 5 ?

    Ok - I'm trying to get a summary of the arguments clear in my head! Am I right in thinking that: 1. For pure sound quality Trip believes that the Beomaster 5/Beosound 5 solution is way ahead? 2. Others believe there may be no difference and that the iPad may enhance multi room access to a central digital music collection? If I've got the above

  • Beosound/Beomaster 5

    I'm interested in accessing digital media (mainly music, but also video and internet - BBC iplayer,Youtube and the like) throughout the house via an existing link + distributed 'RF out' system. What are the possibilities with a Beomaster5 or Beomedia? How do you access their content remotely? Do you need a separate Beousound head unit in

  • Re: Mac to B&O system, how?

    Elephant Thanks very much for this - some really good ideas there. Am I right in the following?..... 1. By looping the RF out from the BV8 back into the Mac via Elgato TV you can record whichever video signal is fed into the BV8? 2. By connecting the Mac via HDMI you can 'see it' in link room TVs via the RF out from the BV8? 3. Audio from the

  • Re: How to save Bang & Olufsen

    My point is that B&O should support its dealer network by making straightforward sales easier to process - it would help dealers and customers alike. An initial thought is to segment dealers into product sales and system sales. To an extent they've done this with the Beoliving stores, but maybe it needs to go further if people like Trip are

  • Re: How to save Bang & Olufsen

    Some interesting points there Trip. I can see from your point of view you'd prefer a sale of $35k vs 5 sales of $7k, but to B&O they're the same. I bought a Beovision8 from a UK dealer recently and it took nearly an hour to have a bit of a chat about options and to sort out the sales and delivery. Way too long - I was bored, it was costing

  • Re: How to save Bang & Olufsen

    Trip A couple of points to clarify my thoughts: 1. I think what you call Lifestyle, I call understanding your customers and their needs - and then building products to fit - so no real argument there. I'd still ban the word though as it suggests 'gloss' over substance. 2. Of course I agree that B&O's customer base is affluent. I

  • Re: How to save Bang & Olufsen

    I haven't read the whole thread in detail - so apologies if any these points have been made elsewhere. Assuming B&O needs saving, I would advocate the following 1. Immediately fire anyone connected with business who uses the words or phrases like Lifestyle, Aspirational or Ownership Experience. (sorry Lee!) 2. Understand and decide who your

  • Re: New B&O project - some questions before buying

    I had a demo of Beosound 5 from the Lincoln store and I really couldn't see the point of it at all if you already have a computer and a TV. As one of the posters has already said I'd go for an 'old style' music system for the CDs. Somewhat controversially I wouldn't touch the BS9000 with a barge pole as its functionality is superseded
