[quote user="ed7"] I heard a rumor the next stage is ordering B&O merchandise directly from Denmark with few regional offices scattered in the UK??!! [/quote] No, this is in place now. It's simply that every store order is placed directly with Struer directly and then shipped to the store. No stock in-store. No 'middleman'

[quote user="TripEnglish"] Look for Affineur's posts. He is probably the only poster that represents our clientele's thinking... [/quote] And I thought American's couldn't do irony? :) Trip. Seriously.

[quote user="Affineur"] You are relaxed, you do not have to do ANYTHING. This is the essensce of the Beosound 5.[/quote] Sure....if it turns on and performs correctly. As my BS5 is connected to my TV, via the BM5, occassionally the BM5 interface crashes or shows the BS5 interface, which means selecting any tracks, easily, requires a reboot

[quote user="bandoboy"] It also hurts when we read on these forums (yes B&O staff read them too!) how much many people don;t like a particular product before they've even seen it. [/quote] I'm sorry, but I disagree with this. The majority of these comments come from users - like me - who own these problematic products. If you think

[quote user="mawheele"] I'm curious as to what got fixed in the 6.11 release. Its strange how they go from 5.08 direct to 6.11. Best, Mark. [/quote] They didn't Mark. My BV7-40 MKIV (first revision) had 6.05 and the latest (installed last week) has something like 6.08, if I can remember. Most sw builds are internal and it can take

[quote user="Thomas"] Went to the Proms last night - had a wonderful evening. Was thinking about the Beolab 9s. [/quote] IMHO, the speakers cause few problems. There's no 'sw' built into the BL3s or BL9s. My Beosound 4 has never caused me a single problem. In fact, nothing bought before 2007 has caused a single problem, for me

[quote user="Puncher"] With a decent two way remote isn't the BS5 redundant? I think a lot of folk think the BS5 should've been the decent two way remote! [/quote] Yes, you're right as the Beosound 5 simply controls the BM5. A two-way remote would interact with the BM5. All the software is based on the BM5 not the BS5.

[quote user="Puncher"] My understanding was to record two programmes simultaneously, while watching neither and be able to watch terrestrial TV (or other non-Sky+ TV source) at the same time. [/quote] Hmmm. Perhaps you can do this if you had Sky+ and the built-in DTV module and you watched that whilst Sky records. I don't know, I've

[quote user="pf85"] I don't think BS5/BM5 are a mistake. The product is a genuine step by B&O to develop a platform that can grow... B&O never has taken the effort to communicate with its ownerbase on any topic related to BS5 / BM 5.... something to learn about CRM ! [/quote] But we shouldn't to wait for £4000 worth of

[quote user="Aitch"] can I use my original Sky Box (in conjunction with the Sky+) to watch a different programme whilst the Sky+ records. Is this possible or will there be a conflict? [/quote] If I understand you correctly, you can do that with Sky+ anyhow, using one box? Often I'll be watching one TV programme, realise something more
