No i bought it direct from lintronic.dk and the process is quite easy and Michael is very helpful.
i will say one think what an excellent bit of kit.
since installed it has been working perfectly hidden in my install and makes everything work so well with everything else

Guy1680:
Anyone know for sure if (and how) I can wire an MCL sensor as the external IR eye?
I'm planning to do the same myself and mentioned it to Michael when I placed the order, and he didn't say anything - so I'm guessing it will work fine. I'm going to try it!

Having mentioned the Xmas sale here I missed the deadline and didn't place an order!
A further thought regarding two-way remotes: I wonder if you could use the Lintronic box to control a BC9500 with a MCP5500 (or 5000, or 6500 for that matter). Surely the box could both convert the IR signal from the MCP to the BC9500 and then the return IR signal from the BC9500 to the MCP. The problem could be working out the return IR codes.
Just a thought ...

Perhaps in principle, but it's quite a task without any documentation. I've tried to work out the 2-way traffic and decided the ROI is too small to spend weeks with it for a hobby project.
The return traffic (and the more complex commands from the 2-way remotes, like programming) can't really be called "codes" - it isn't simple 2 byte stuff like most of the Beolink 1000 compatible commands. They contain a lot of data, and in many cases the format isn't obvious at all. The job wouldn't be simple 1:1 interpretation from one code to another or even a macro or two, but a far more complex task.

Thanks for the response Mika! I think that if and when I buy the Lintronic I'll stick to the basics, but maybe have a quick go of getting the MCP to work some simple one-way functions; of course it already does some but it would be nice to have the volume dial working, but perhaps this is only possible with two way?

Looking at the price of the Lintronic device - I'm thinking of just pushing the boat out and going Beo5/6.

Chris:

That's
a valid point. I don't really have any first hand experience with
programming either, but one problem with using a Beo4 (or earlier) for
controlling 3rd party devices is that the button repertoire really isn't
too convenient for that. It quickly gets really hard to find an
unallocated, sensible button to operate a function of another device,
and you need to resort to GO+something combinations like B&O's own
PUC does. I don't find it too handy for stuff you need to do all the
time, like RWD/FFD a hard disk recorder.
From what I've understood
programming a Lintronic is easier though, and you don't need any under
the counter software to do it by yourself. Too bad the latest model
needs an external receiver to receive B&O commands in the first
place, driving the price further up.
