Beo5 - what a piece of junk.

Just can't get on with it.

What is it worth? 

Evidently it hasn't been set up properly! They're fantastic, but need to be configured properly, which can be difficult on your dealer's behalf (he/she can't know exactly what you want).

I am really glad you all like your 5's, but it does not work for me. Part of the reason I enjoy B&O is because 1 remote does everything. Not anymore! I need my old long thin one and the 5. AHHHHHH!

 To give my dealer credit, he did set it up - even for Apple TV but boy the thing drives me nuts.

 So, how do I advertise it on the FOR SALE forum? IMHO it is only worth throwing in the bin but should I ask £275?

 

 

Pricing is it tricky since it has to be reprogrammed for which a dealer will charge.

OK understood.

 I will pop it on eBay then. 

You will never need the Beo4 as well as the Beo5 - the Beo5 can do everything the Beo4 does and heck of a lot more. It just needs configuring correctly!
