I don&amp;#39;t have Beoport yet. The system works fine except for some reason, Itunes loses connectivity with the airport express every 15 songs or so and i have to shut down and restart Itunes about 3 times before it re-recogonizes the airport express. Kind of annoying. I have changed the channel on my ISP&amp;#39;s wireless modem/router but i still lose the connection. And the green light never changes to orange/yellow on the express when i lose connection. Very strange. Anyone else ever experience this?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;stevo&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: BeoSound 4 Display - BeoPort</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/14730.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2007 08:50:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:14730</guid><dc:creator>Luigi</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/14730.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=14730</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I have BC2 in livingroom and beoport-PC in office. Also I have connected Airport Express to Aux socket of BC2. I have a macbook, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can use airport express to connect beolabs, but you can&amp;#39;t control it. I use airport express when PC is turn off, so I can hear music from iTunes (macbook) in livingroom and bedroom throught BV1, pressing A.aux. Also it allows hear different music in different place: n.music (beoport-pc) in office and iTunes in bedroom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tried beoport-mac and it&amp;#39;s a good option. With the update bm-link 1.5 you can control Frontrow with Beo4. But with beoport-pc you have more possibilities: hear,see and control cd, dvd, v.tape, radio, dtv from master room, and send n.music and n.radio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With mac-beoport you can&amp;#39;t see DTV, V.tape... also send n.music and n.radio. Frontrow is only available throught of IR-eye connected to beoport, so you can&amp;#39;t control frontrow in others rooms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, at the moment, I prefer beoport with pc. When Frontrow can be controlled in others rooms (throught IR of BV) I will change my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: BeoSound 4 Display - BeoPort</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/14709.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2007 07:31:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:14709</guid><dc:creator>pedrompinto</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/14709.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=14709</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Just a question, the only thing needed is 2 beoports, 1 connected to the pc and another to the BS4 ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does it fully controlls iTunes? i.e. Playlists, music files&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TIA.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: BeoSound 4 Display - BeoPort</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/14706.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2007 07:04:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:14706</guid><dc:creator>sinuhe</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/14706.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=14706</wfw:commentRss><description>I have a Mac and BS4.
