BTW guys, despite our discussions about allowing end-users to be able to software update via the internet, this is a good reason why it can very easily go wrong:

Apple TV (2nd generation) and Bang & Olufsen are made for each other

As reported on the B&O news page but you'll need your dealer/service agent to load the software to use/control the Apple TV on your B&O tv.

I understand there will always be people who will want the dealer to handle it but for all those who are happy to do it themselves (like the HD module update) why not make it available.

Can it be that hard?

My daughter has just gone to the Apple store to get her Mac fixed.

Understand but a Mac is a little less cumbersome to lug around compared to a Beovision 10.

It would be akin to having to take the Mac in to service every time you needed the software upgraded.

I have no problems when a TV needs a major fix but for something that usually takes 5 minutes it's a big ask.

I would suggest that B & O could take a leaf out of Lumagen's book on how to issue firmware updates that are very easily user installed.
