Well I hope it does some good

Just so we all know how strange it's getting I was just checking ebay for stuff and guess what someone is trying to sell software and cable for beo5 for £60 a pop.

I agree but this is where B&O are doing people such a dis-service

They cannot (aka see ebay adverts for beo5) and should not try and manipulate the market by restricting the programming of a product in this way.

Just for information,

As you will have seen from previous posts I've been struggling to get the software. As a last ditch attempt I ended up paying for a copy of 1.3 on ebay (nervous as I was about this, £50 for those who are wondering). Anyway it arrived yesterday, and all is now well and i can finally enjoy my Beo5. (ps did not have to upgrade firmware as far as I could tell?)

Managed to set up 3 zones with different pattens and external bit's in about 2 hours .

Avant, LC2's, Beolab 1, Beloab 2 beolab 6000, Digifusion 200, BeoSound 9000, BeoLab 4000, BeoPort, Beolab 3500, Apple TV

Now I've seen the software I'm even more staggered that the dealers in Newbury/Reading where making such a fuss about how complex it all is?

As far as I can see it's a simple wizard with the only slightly hard bit being getting the Beo5 work on the usb in the first place (had a code 10 which was cleared by rebooting the Beo5 and PC)

With only a few more minor tweaks this could be released to almost anyone.

I'd like to say a Big thanks to Beoworld for the downloads - makes the rest of the none standard bits a breeze
