For one, I am wildly guessing it can only connect to the local HD. For 2, we had a snip of teh Beoconnect software posted. You have to drag and drop music from Itunes to the beoconnect software, that will transfer it. For 3, the anwser I think is no. If you are running a PC, I dont think it talks to Itunes. It will from a Mac. If you are using a PC

Thanks Peter. Awesome that we have the manuals already. Very happy right now that I am gold founding .. cheers JK

I know we had a part of the instruction manual posted here so someone must have it. While I can see that Peter is in trouble with his massive collection, I should be OK. I also would not compress lossless but 320 AAC so that I still can move the songs to my ipod and dont have to double rip. What is more interesting for me, how does video get onto it

Interesting point, I migrated from Europe to US 10 years ago. It is still tough (in Germany) for what I consider middle class to buy a home or be financially independent (read - enough that you don't have to worry about the cost of food that you eat & can have vacations). With jobs that my parents had it was possible to buy a house, put 2 kids

That is for me a very appealing concept. I have Netflix for DVD rental anyhow, Apple TV is sort of expensive over time (even may be chepaer then cable for some).

B&O has an STB for the Apple TV, so yes. This would just require your TV to be updated with that and you would have to run the IR cable from TV to Apple TV. Thing is, you might need a converter for connecting the Apple TV to your sets. How old are they? Cheers JK

It seems it can play video - question I have is can it connect and read movies straight from PC or NAS. The later would be awesome fo rme not very happy with the Apple TV due to the messed up UI.

Kabel Hin Kabel her, die Bedienung basierend auf dem film oben scheint gut zu sein. 2 Wege Bedienung kommt wohl nachtraeglich. Was mich ein bisschen stoert is das das neben Beocener 2 und BV8 net sonderlich gut drein schaut. Der Bodenstand gefaellt mir nicht so. Das mit den kabeln ist ein bisschen ein problem,wireless waere wirklich besser gewesen.

http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer/ I am thinking about getting one of those. Is there and STB that I can use with Beo4 and BV8? i know its not on the list out of teh box but am hoping it can be added. Cheers JK

I think I might buy it, I am waiting for the demo unit to show up at my dealer. Biggest problem for me is, that I do not have space. My BV8 sits next to my BC2 on a shelf and there is no more space to put it. Plus it would look too crowded. I don't like the floorstand option much. Also, i am not sure I understand the rings yet. The middle one is
