I was just wondering...

The DLNA defines the different elements as Server, Player, Renderer and Controller.

The controller can tell a player to play a given media from a given server.

Given the Beo6 has wifi, I was wondering if it is able to act as a DLNA Controller, for example tell a Server to play onto a given song on a PlayMaker, or V1 or BV11.

I asked my dealer to forward this to B&O, and the answer was no...

I initially thought Beo6 was two-way via DLNA when they introduced 2-way support and since BM5/BS5 supports DLNA via Twonky.

Would have been great to use Beo6 as a DLNA controller.... and a smart way to interact with PlayMaker and all other DLNA products.
