Beo 5 two-...

37 replies

Hello BeoWorld !

Yesterday we were lazing as usual... but Bjorn, Peter and me got a little break in our hard work, and we heard some farmers discussing near from us.

Maybe something that may sound good to some of you...

Beo 5 will become a two-way remote !

Baaah !

John

So it may have been worth being patient...

I would have preferred a totally new remote (à la Beo4 or iPhone) as I really dislike the design of the Beo5, but that is excellent news anyway. Thank you Sheeps.

Let's hope that Struer will solve the configuration (tool) issues and that the two-way Beo5 will be as attractive as an iPhone with Apple Remote (i.e. convenient access to the music library stored in a BM5 and no need for a BS5 or a Beovision at all: in such case I promise I will forget Apple).

About time!🙂

I take it this means all existing Beo 5's too?

Wow!! That would be awesome!

Yeah !

Waiting for this to control my BeoSound 5 from my favorite lounge chair ! 😕

Also the BeoSound 5 is really a tactile product ! 😳

That would be wonderful, but I don't think so...[:'(]

Great news I suppose if you think the Beo5 is a good product, but wouldn't it be better if B&O just adopted the 'application' facility similar to that available on the iPod Touch & iPhone?

😉 Wow!
Thank you sheep. This is good news, and long awaited.

is there a reason why it won't be available on ''old'' beosound5's? I'm thinking about ordering one shortly, so should i wait?

would this feature not just be added with a software upgrade?

thanks

David

 

Hmmh....

That's a good news, but it brings a lot of questions...

- Will existing Beo5 magically become 2 way with software upgrade? (that would mean the 2 way hardware is already present).

- None of the existing TV, Hifi has an IR emitter, so, how will 2 way work??

Wifi from the BM5 maybe??
