I haven't tried the Beo5, but in the early 90s a bought a bl7000 and a bl5000, and in the end I only used the bl5000 since it was easier to grab the bl5000 and change tv channel etc without looking at the remote - I only used the bl7000 for programming purposes, and even then I often used the bl5000 instead. It was easier. I guess it could be the same situation with the beo5 if it isn't 100% perfect.<div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: Beo5 - what a piece of junk.https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/121859.aspxSun, 08 Jun 2008 12:45:57 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:121859Alex0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/121859.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=121859<p>I don't know why people think they need two remotes?
