Many thanks for the replies received. I've now got the service counters: Standby: 1518 Days Audio: 0126 Days Video: 0182 Days On/Off: 0521 (x10) DVD: 0019 DVD Player: 64 Loader: 155 Can someone interpret? are these numbers good or bad? Thanks Ian

I got a BeoTime at the weekend, but I am slightly disappointed in the sensitivity of the 'touch feature'. When it is resting on my bedside table I can pick it up before the backlight comes on, and this morning I almost had to knock it off the wall bracket to put it to sleep. I find it is better to press the control pad rather that risk anything

My sister has a BV6-22, which she uses as her main TV and is now looking to get something bigger. She has been offered a Avant RF DVD 32" (Black) for £500 (excl. Beo4). This TV has advantages in that the built-in DVD means she can lose her current non-B&O player, and a digit box can now be easily hidden behind the TV. But there are disadvantges

After the initial shipment, delivery of any new phones was delayed (at least in the UK, but I assume worldwide) while the software issues were sorted. The new phones should be hitting dealers this week, so be interesting to see if the problems have been solved. Ian

Regarding UK pricing: Handset £265 Speaker Base £150 Charging Base £70 PSTN2 £155 The PSTN bases are becoming a knightmare - You had the built in ones which were part of the BC6000 + BC2 bases, then you had the large flat model (which I call a Mk1), then the smaller Beoline (which I call mk2). I too would like to know eaxctly

In terms of UK price I hear about £5400 (not sure about stand options though). Ian

The 'sponsors' of Beoword are: LifestyleAV, Struer Design, Sounds Heavenly and STB Brackets. Obviously we know that Lifestyle AV is owned/run by Lee Marriott, Struer Design is owned by John Marriott, and Sounds Heavenly is owned by Steve Marriott. It looks less likely that 'only 1 business per genre can advertise', but more like that

The B&O Store at Newbury is relocating to Reading tomorrow, and they are offering all their display stock for sale. I was in the store this week and they have BL5's for £9,950 (less than 12 months old) instead of £12,450, so good savings if anybody is in the market for new stuff. Ian

Anybody have an outer shell for a BeoVision 1? must be in excellent / very good condition. Preferably black, but may consider other colours. Shipping may be an issue, so hopfully someone has the original packaging (or is very close by). Ian

I am surprised to hear of these problems regarding this bidder. I have sold to him in the past and didn't have any problems, he purcahsed a number of phones via eBay, and then a few extra items I had for sale off eBay. Due to the high value of the items (£400+ if I remember) I was only willing to ship using an insured/tracked service (which
