TripEnglish: Accusing me of arrogance is the height of arrogance! For shame, sir! Guys, I think Trip sees himself as 'elitist' not 'arrogant'...as for belligerent, well.... Burantek: Happy to see you coming around on this.... This isn't my first 'B&O Rodeo', and I'm getting a good feeling about it. I get a BeoSound

Well, considering the forum we're on, let's not be too hasty in disparaging kool-aid drinking. I have an AppleTV attached to my Avant and BeoSound 9000, and I have really enjoyed it. Where do you live? Which shop are you dealing with?

If you're having the TV re-flashed. make certain that they put the Apple Remote back in as well as the Tivo box. There isn't an issue with running out of buttons on the Beo4...when you switch sources on the BV-8, it switches ir-ports. You will see that there are 2 different 'overlays' which map out which buttons do what while viewing

Beobird: I hope you're wright and we're not, but I think a cd/sacd or dvd player would be very nice like the B&W Liberty has got. Hey BeoBird, I've done some homework on the 'Liberty' and it seems that there is quite a row going on in the B&Wworld forums with folks complaining about a $15,000USD 'Home Theatre-in-a-Box"

wonderfulelectric: Well that was what I thinking koning. Totally weird move for B&O. With that touchscreen... it should totally be a beocenter. Also... maybe B&O can think about optional plugin cards to support electronics from other brands ie... XLR/RCA outputs/inputs and Ipod Syncing. All evidence, and reliable rumours, indicate that there

Actually CougarLink sounds pretty good to me!

Based on the naming conventions B&O have been using, the BeoCenters imply Audio, and Video support. Now, while the BM5 will almost certainly support video in some way, the BS5 is focused on audio playback. Don't fret though, I think there is more to come for the BeoMaster 5 family.

BeoBird, Of course you're right about having a back-up, but even that seems a minor irritant in some ways. In no particular order, I've had CD players destroy discs, I've had cassette tapes go 'kamikaze' on me and take the tape deck out as they died, and I've had LP's destroyed by sunlight in a car on the way home from the

BeoBird, One of the things I like most about B&O is that, with their facilities way off in the middle of farm county, they have rather often given the impression that they don't care what other manufacturers have done, or are doing. They seem to sit back and simply wonder "If I could make it work the way I wanted it to, what would that

Let me be the first to say that whatever that strategy is, if it doesn't include 2260p, and MPEG-12, delivered over HDMI v3.6, someone here is going to call it short-sighted and suicidal.
