Please excuse my ignorance in these matters in advance, but there is a point I do not understand. Having recorded a tv programme onto the hard disc of HDR2, presumably it sits there as some type of file. When you playback the file, it is sent to the tv which 'reads' the information and displays it as picture and sound. Why, therefore, cannot

Well, this topic has certainly allowed many people to vent their spleens!!! I certainly hope that Dude 1 is correct and that Bang visit this site and read them. Looking at the annual report, it would seem that the share price drop is quite an over-reaction but probably reflects the jittery nature of many investors especially in the US at the present

Henry,Indeed I went to Selfridges last saturday. I was caught up in the Oxford St Festival. I've never seen so many people and had to fight my way into the store! Anyway I saw and handled the Serenata and loved it! It was larger than I thought but felt lighter than I imagined. I didn't get much time to play with the texting but dialling seemed

Having read all the posts on this forum regarding the Serenata, including the very good reviews from people who have actually touched and used it, I must admit I am still unsure whether to buy one. I am going to be in London in 2 weeks time and had hoped to at least be able to check one out but no-one here is saying that that they will arrive in time

My dealer in Melbourne offered me the demo non HD BV9 for only 20% off so you will have got a true bargain. They must be a lot more hard-nosed out here! Needless to say I didn't buy it!! Can anyone tell me if the BV& 40 Inch and the BV9 have built-in Digital tuners. A friend of mine has been pouring scorn on B & O for not doing so, saying

Recently, a few Fridays ago, I attended a B & O product launch in Melbourne for the Beosound 6 and the Beo 5 controller. Of course they had all their products working and I spent much of the evening drooling over both the BeoVision 7 and also the BV9. Neither was HD but still the pictures were stunning, especially the BV9 which was showing a Star

Simon, I am sure you will come in time to not regret your decision. One thing you will find is that Mac users are very helpful to each other. Now and then you may have a problem and will need some help. I note you live in Bath. So does Alex. He sounds a friendly approachable guy. If he is not 1) Doing homework, 2) Working at that great job he has where

Attaboy Alex!!!! Well said!! In fact you gave a very reasoned reply to some inaccurate comments. I bet you've had a lot of practice at that! One of the best points is to tell switchers not to try and use Macs like PCs. Just think logically, and it gets results! Cliff

Patrick, Your problem seems even worse than mine and you seem to have been very patient. It would seem time that B & O replaced your phone with a new one as surely the current one cannot be said to be "of merchantable quality". Maybe you are being too nice as probably you have developed a good relationship with your dealer and don't

Oh Gawd!!! Reading these posts on the Serenata and seeing the B & O website about it, the Beovirus has kicked in and I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!!!! I was just thinking about getting a new iPod as the current one I have mainly stays in the glove box of my Lexus wired into the stereo system of the car, and I wanted an extra one as a portable. Then along
