I believe they were hardly sold locked and tied to an network provider. You can just go to your dealer. It should work with any GSM provider which most are. Cheers JK

Das mit den Aenderungen stimmt nicht ganz. Soweit ich weiss ist der BV7 32 mit einem neuem chassis fuer 2009 geplannt. Das wird das gleiche chassis sein was auch der BV 8 40er bekommt. Die frage ist, ob du warten magst. Die Loewe Geraete sind vom Design her in meinen Augen eine Klasse drunter. Und bevor des Geschrei los geht, Gutes Design heisst das

What currency, what is your location. Do you know what TV you are planning to take? To be honest I would not waste 2K in any major currency for a temporary workaround. I think I would consider buying a 2nd life BV with that money or maybe a Beosystem if you are planning on using a BV4. Cheers JK

I haven't had much time and didnt want to bother the sales guy. I could not see how the BM5 would be loaded with files. I would be interested in the Mac piece ad have doubts that many dealers will show that. I am also thinking that if a 2 way remote is in the works, I don't really need the BS5. In fact, I dont want it since I have already a

BeoSound 9000 type 252x (from 04-1996) and type 256x (from 09-1998). BeoSound 9000 type 257x (from 06-2001) This was taken from the product sesection here. I have bought a 2nd life BS9000 MK3 and am very happy with it.

Can the Beosound 5 play gapless? This is supported in Itunes and Ipods. Very important for classic, DJ mixes and concerts. Thanks Jk

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback correct, it works for mp3 too. i didnt know that. the wki is explaining the issue, the gap sits apparently in teh MP3, however there is a tag that contains the lenght so that it can be removed.

Itunes actually can rip without gaps, however you have to use the aac format. Its not a thng that you can fix in the software, its a problem with the MP3 file format. Everyne who is using MP3 in their music player will have this problem. Cheers JK

What is your budget? There is lot of decent best value system combinations. From BS2300 BL2500 to BC2 BL5 ..... You will find that people will recomend systems from a few hundred quids to 10k otherwise. Cheers JK

The kicker with Boxee is that it adds Hulu.com. This is only available in US but it streams full feature movies and television show with few commercial interruptions for free. Also, I want to access my movies on my NAS, it also seem to have some auto library management functions. If I understand correct it will search for the trailer for your movie
