Beoconnect Core with HDMI (e)ARC

Dealer says my BCC should arrive this coming week. ?
I'm looking forward to your first impressions!
In the press pictures, the Beoconnect Core is always displayed together with a pair Beolab 18s and a Beogram turntable of the 4000 series. Beolab 18s without cables, that is... These are exactly the products I have, and as I would like to have the Beolab 18s work wirelessly, I was very excited about the news of the Beoconnect Core. Even though I bought everything less than a month ago, I was willing to replace my Core by a new one. Now I read that this is actually a hoax, and my wireless Beolab 18s will always be bound to cables? Not cool.

Yet another ugly plastic box and another power cable? That's not really B&O like. Why did B&O actually never upgrade the Beolab 18 to WLAN in its 10 year life span? That would have been the obvious thing to do.
@Mjoelnir
You could - maybe - hope and wish for a new speaker in the BL18 range.
I can not imagine, that they would ‘upgrade the BL18 to WLAN’.

N.B.
And in that case you would not need a BCC.

Do we know if the BR1 can control a third-party TV via the BCC, similar to LG/B&O integration, or are there limitations?
