[quote user="OKF"]I totally agree with you in general but when you want to use the Ipod and the IPad e.g. in a B+O environment and get most out of these things you may end up with a jailbreak of the ATV[/quote] Yes, and as I said, buying a product and having to jailbreak/hack it to get most out of it, is not really something I want to support

[quote user="OKF"] Well in this cases all this does not apply I think. I did then ask some uestions in the german forum, where I was not expecting any specific ansers and I got hem there which really is not helpful for this area here because input gets lost for most people. In the past I even have answered my own questions here for somebody

[quote user="OKF"] Ah I see what you mean but when you jailbreak ATV you should be fine with NAS.. I have ordered a NAS myself and have the intention to jailbreak te ATV but the NAS does support Itunes so it may make things a bit easier. [/quote] LOL, the mere idea that it's okay to buy a product you have to hack/jailbreak to function
-
[quote user="OKF"] well all the questions I have asked were B+O related so I assume to answer those would have been not so difficult. Also if answersare wrong nobody care for getting it cleared out. I just think people do not pay much attention to this area and Beo5 is no more so new anymore. [/quote] While we're at conjecture junction

[quote user="OKF"] well you said then that Wifi is a tech. dead end? [/quote] No, Airplay is wifi, but it ties the users into using iTunes and iThings. And it requires you own Airplay-capable things. Therefore Airplay is a deadend in the long run. I use wifi for internet, for my squeezeboxes, for my NAS drive, and if I get an Encore, I will

Well, if you're very integrated with iTunes/iPods etc., continue to use Apples Lossless until and if you find a need to use another format. If you use any of the lossless formats, you can change your mind down the line. We don't have netflix around here, but as they are movies (aren't they?) they really have no bearing on what you use for

[quote user="OKF"]well we will see whther 5 Encore will be 'upgradeable'.[/quote] You're missing the point. The Encore is just a source interface with wifi for a NAS. My squeezeboxes at present are just a wifi transmitters which uses a nas as well, my various speakers are active, and each part can be upgraded or swapped to something
-
[quote user="OKF"] well, buying and using B+O products is a 'questionable priviledge' as well, isn't it? [/quote] Not really. It depends what you buy. I like their speakers and have just bought a BV10-32" (it is pretty, lol) .And I might be buying the Encore when it's up and running and suits me. But the idea to me is

[quote user="XavierItzmann"] Impressive to see other consumer products companies adopting AirPlay technology. In the fullness of time, this will be the death of the ubiquitous dock/speaker devices, which I always thought were an unnecessary technological dead end. [quote user="BeoNut1"] And here's a video of Pioneer's new
