Keith, I feel guity for asking (seeing your long, informative post above), but could you point me to information about the workarounds you mentioned in 2. above: "You comment is true, B&O really shot themselves in the foot with that mistake, but there were/are workarounds which still allowed macros to work. The problem was in the Configuration

[quote user="Electrified"] [quote user="beolion"] Just talked to my dealer. B&O hope for the next BM5 update to take place in week 4 (no year mentioned though). This should be a major update. It better must be Mjor update with such a long waiting time............. [/quote] God, I hope so! Smaller (think "almost as small

I have had my wireless running about 6 mos. It took some experimentation to find a workable placement (I have most of my main floor master-linked, but running a cable to the upstairs would have been very difficult - so I tried the transmitter in a couple different rooms before finding the magic spot - the transmitter is almost directly below the receiver

[quote user="BOMF"] I would like to program my Beo5 by myself, but I still have not found the last version of the configuration software (I got a v3.0.02 but not the last v3.2). Do you know where I can find it ? Thanx [/quote] Actually, I'm still using v2.x. This was the current software when I did my programming. I also recall that there

The interference between my wifi, BeoCom 1s and Wireless 1s is not consistent, and has been much improved now that most of my wifi is n. However, there are times when the wireless1 causes "tapping" on the BeoCom1, and times when the wifi degrades - especially when the wireless1 + BeoCom is active. It's not huge problem. I agree that the

I went through this with my dealer (which, iirc, may also be your dealer - the *big* one in the Chicago suburbs). I asked, can I use the Beo5 to control non-B&O stuff if I don't have a B&O Tv? Answer: No. Beo5 only works with B&O TVs (a.k.a. PUC). I then pointed out that there is this forum on the internet where people claim otherwise

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. This is very useful information. I'm still on the fence... I think the handset is too small and a little blah, but I would like a phone that doesn't interfere with my with Wireless1 and Wifi... Stan

Thanks. That MOTS button mystery is solved. I think, however, a "long push" on the GO button does the same thing with a Beo4. I guess I'll get to reprogramming the Beo5 for the BS5 it at some point - I think named, direct access to N.Radio favorites might be the compelling feature. Stan

The way I look at it is that it is a very big world. There are millions of computers on the internet. There are maybe 10,000 BM5s (I'm only guessing, it could be more or less, but for argument let's just say 10K). Do I really believe that somebody will hack through my router and go after my BM5 and delete my music (which I have backed up anyway

Thanks everybody! Stan
