From what I have seen, the software can be used in an offline mode, thus no need for username and password from your dealer. Just enter your own made up username and password. Greg

I regret selling mine. I used it as my sole MP3 player for 3 years and then when in the US last year bought and iPod. The iPod is great, but....... I miss my BS2! Probably because of the design, simplicity and battery life. I may buy another one at some point (spare cash allowing) Greg

Unless you're going to program the Beo 5 yourself

So is v1.20a the firware version of the Beo5 rather than the Configuration Software version? Greg

Thanks Keith. I have v1, will I have problems configuring the Beo 5 with this version? Greg

Hi I'm thinking about how I will setup my Beo 5 when it arrives in a week or so. In particular with Sky (DTV) and BeoMedia. With Sky, I'd like to be able to select DTV or even rename it Sky (which I know is possible) an be presented with a main screen that will probably have the main functions I use, i.e planner, record and a few other things

Hi Could anyone confirm that v1.0 is the latest / only version of the configuration software? Thanks Greg

Some slight changes in product names too..... BeoLab 4 PC now becomes BeoLab 4 PC/MAC BeoMedia 1 now becomes BeoMedia Subtle changes, but interesting

Just picked up my Magolog, not as impressive as some previous catalogues, but an interesting read. Pitty it is the end of hardback catalogues though. Greg

Matt A FANTASTIC review, I really enjoyed reading it, thank you! I'm with you I think for the money and the punishment my Nokia and iPod receive then I'd be too scared to own this. Greg
