No idea how this has happened, but my BM5 has stopped responding to remote commands so, when it boots and you see the menu screen on the TV, nothing happens.

The BS5 still operates and will control the BM5. Audio can be heard via the TV. However, switching off the TV doesn't put the BS5 on standby.

Why has the BM5 stopped responding to Beo4 commands?

Situation seemed to fix itself. A couple of BM5 reboots (at one stage, I saw a Windows 'this program is not responding' warning on my TV ;) later and all is fine and working again.

I'd be very impressed with this BS5 setup if it had a two-way remote facility. At the moment it's a bit like using a single CD player! You go over to the BS5, choose your CD, listen and go forward/back through the album tracks with your remote. I guess sw updates will bring the ability to create playlists and so on.

It's just a shame they didn't make this a central hub for ALL media. It could easily handle 720p HD video.

Yes, BM5 can handle HD video.
