Perhaps it's overkill, but a clever mounting device for Lintronic (velcro)? How many of us actually use one of these?

I have two!

Well, i've had a total of ONE additional set of answers, so there is a 100% chance that the fourth person to enter has won a bracket!

If anyone would like to ruin that 100% chance, and perhaps put themselves in the running - please feel free to enter!!

Surely "correct entries out of the hat" is fairer, rather than first one to read this wins.

Yes, it is, certainly. But half the battle in advertising and promotions is trying to maintain interest. We already have a monthly draw, and although not everyone can be online on the night, I'm sure attendance could be higher...

Surprise competitions and the like keep things interesting. The last thing we want is people getting tired of their memberships and not renewing - as we'll all suffer as a result.

Running a site like this cost a lot, (not to mention draw prizes!) and needs our subscriptions to keep it running. Sure Lee gets some awareness for LifeStyleAV from the site, but let's face it, how many BeoWorld members are customers? Not many, I guess. Same goes for casual surfers who find BeoWorld by googling for B&O stuff.

Not to mention that Lee's having to chase people to claim their prizes, which is fairly absurd really IMHO.

I'm not bitter, I didn't need one anyway.

Me too, I don't (yet) have an AppleTV, and my only Beovision is a MX...

britops:

I love competions.

Me too. Especially when I win something!

I'm in a desperate search of a bracket for my BV7. I'd like to hang it on the back of my AppleTV. Tried to hide the BV7 in a closet but for some reason that didn't work. My wish is to control my BV7 with the little stylish white AppleRemote. So please ... if you know of some easy way to hide the BV7 behind the AppleTV let me know ...

Hi Richard

Nobody had any advance warning of the competition. Every one of us can't sit on Beoworld all day (however much we may want to..), as life gets in the way. Had the competition been launched when I was working or whatever, I'd have missed it too, but not grumbled too much about it... it happens.

I've been a Beoworld member for over a year, and it is the first time I've won anything. Often I've looked at the monthly prizes and thought "I'd LOVE one of those...", but I am never resentful of the winner - we all have the same chance after all...

He was particularly interested in the PS3 mounting bracket as a concept, and as usual a BeoWorld member has come up with a great idea! He is interested to know what other brackets and mounting solutions people would like to see - so let's have your suggestions!

You can let them know that I'm willing to test their first concept of a PS3 - BV740 bracket!

In fairness - if i launched it on Monday, people would complain on Tuesday that they weren't online Monday. If i launch it on Tuesday, people on Wednesday will complain they weren't online Tuesday and it isn't fair. I can't win on this one, and won't even try!

However - no need to delete this thread or be affronted. One more bracket is now available.

Please keep sending in your answers, and on Friday Gavin (STB Director) will pick a winner out of the hat and give away another bracket of the winners choice.

I don't see a need to delete it, everyone is entitled to their opinions within the behavioural guidelines of beoworld.

At the end of the day if not enough members are willing to upgrade to gold membership to allow the site to stand on its own feet then funds have to be raised somehow and STB brackets have been one of our staunchest supporters in this respect.

I'm sure the three people that won brackets won't mind. Plus, without STB's sponsorship we wouldn't be able to have a forum like this.

Is there a chance they will be making a similar bracket for a PS3?
