Olof:

But thr PC/Mac must not be connected all the time with BS5 if I want to listen to netradio ?

Once you've registered the BS5 using BeoPlayer/BeoConnect (happens automatically during install), no computer is required to use N.radio. You cannot add your own stations. I'm told you can write B&O, and they will add it. Although I haven't tried this myself, I do believe this because there are thousands of stations on the BS5.

No, sure not.

You only have to do this once.

If you don't, the BM1 or 5, gives you the message: "Not Registered".

So, after installing Beoplayer/port and registering you leave the PC/Mac on. Then start NRadio.

Then you'll see the system (BM) updating on regular base.

Of course, not mentioned, but required, a working network.

No, sorry.

B&O has their own database. The address of this is mentioned in the windows register.

To get the N-Radio working, you always need a pc/mac where beoplayer/port is installed and registered.

Otherwise the BM5 will not get the data about the radio channels.

My experience is that every 2 weeks the list will be updated.

Does the internetradio always need the server from B&O; or is it also possible to programm own radio channels into the BS 5 (BeoMaster) ?
