I grew up with rotary dial telephones and no internet so still am in awe of what we can do today.

They will never know the pain of having to enter a radio station competition or having to request a song and you had to wait for that bloody rotary return! Haha

Dom. How do you use the Mac mini with the BR4 ? Is that just a puc with the BS3 ?

How do you see what songs you’re actually selecting ?

Sadly, you never see it advertised anywhere anymore.

There was a radio ad about a month ago for a dealer in my area (they went from being slap bang (😏) in the middle of a furniture store to being a proper dealer I think) and I was really pretty surprised

I have the mini audio connected to both my BS6500 and my BS3 with a Y adapter. I sent the DVI video through an HDMI converter cable to one of the BS3 video inputs. Yes, I’m using the Apple Remote option in the BS3 PUC from the Mac Mini input.

So if I’m just listening in a link room, I’ll typically use my iPhone remote app. to switch songs. If I’m in the living room, the I can use the Beo4 to switch songs and the album art will appear on my video display.

Are your kids unimpressed? Dare I say it, are you the pipe and slippers brigade? 😎

I’m 31 and at this point I’m unimpressed. I splurged for the bv11-46 but my friends Sony xbr and oled TVs look better. I see a ton of banding on my tv and the black levels aren’t the best. The remote is impossible to use in the dark with it not being backlit and the multiroom app is ok at best.

Well I am! Although I don’t smoke. I also listen to Quad electrostatics and my kids are impressed!

I’m 29 and impressed with my BV 11 on a daily basis.
