To clarify:
You can use this with a non-B&O TV as long as you have Beo4 and the external IR receiver.
You can add external drives to Beomedia by USB (for instance) and link the drive into the BM-SHARE directory.
Adding an external drive should be a nice option for my HDR1

There is an update kit for the HDR-1 which will increase the capacity and make it more or less identical to the HDR-2, the cost of the kit is just above £120 the last time I checked.

Hi All,
Can anyone answer a few questions re the beomedia 1
1/ What is the HD capacity?
2/ Does it work with non B&O TV's?
3/ Does the TV have to be LCD?
4/ How does it connect to the TV and HIFI i.e. which cables?
5/ To use it in other rooms, do you need a TV in each room to navigate your music?
6/ How does it compare to some of the wireless streaming systems which are available? bearing in mind my main aim is to use it for music storage.
7/ Can you add external HD's?
1/ 160GB
2/ Probably not
3/ No
4/ To the TV with Scart and VGA if the TV has it. It connects additionally using MasterLink.
5/ No you can use the N.MUSIC button on the remote.
6/ Airport Express and Apple TV (for a recent tv) can be of interest as well and much cheaper.
7/ I don't think.

Correction:

2/ Yes

7/Yes
