808's and Heartbreak: Kanye West Did not realise that my Lab5's were at volume 68, glad I live in the middle of nowhere.

I have a couple of things that are confusing me: I currently have configation tool 1.2, am I unable to control 3rd party products directly using this version. If I can find a copy of 1.32 will this allow me to cotrol my Humax HD without an IR cable. If I can find a copy of 1.32 will this upgrade the firmware of my Beo5 at the same time. Having moved

I would like to build a computer using a workstation graphics card (ATI FireGL or Quadro FX), outputting at 1080p. Do I need a card that outputs HDCP. Does anyone have any experience with one og these graphics cards connected to their BeoVision? Many thanks, Harvey

Off to buy some cable. Thank you all.

Thank you for the advice. Will it not also be sending a signal via the 7-40? Will there be a conflict?

I have just noticed that my Lab 5's are not connected via their digital input. Is it possible to use the digital input from my BS9000 when still having them run from the 7-40 for movies? Current set up: BS9000 to 7-40 via materlink. Avant (differant room) to 7-40 via masterlink. 5 speakers (including 5's) connected to 7-40.

I am looking at getting a music server for the other half. Multi room function not neccessary, but easy to use remote is. I would like to connect to the Lab 5's possibly by passing the 9000. Could I connect a sonos directly to the speakers? Music library of about 700cd's. Not sure if I can wait for the BS 5, my shop seems to have absoloutly

Oops meant to say they all contributed to from spark to icon.

They all have a beoliving set up in their stores......do I win a beoliving set up? Sorry have not posted in ages (too upset at not winning the christmas prize draw)....just been lurking.

Having bought the BL5's I can honestly say they saved me alot of anguish...yes there are probably better speakers. But you then have to match the speakers to the amplifier for the right sound. I got bored of going into shops for 2-3hours at a time while they set up differant amplifier/cd/speaker/cable combinations. 10 speakers, 10 pre amplifiers
