Interesting poll results although only 11 people it seems have bought one! Not encouraging. I was going to go and buy a Beo 5 remote next week, are they so bad? More information please on what these 'teething' problems are and when would be a good time to buy the remote?

I have aired my grievances

i really like the design of the beo (i just imagine a beo5 standing on a link).

the beo5 would be a real killer product (for less than 1000€) if i can control 3rd party products like a panasonic hdd recorder now. also, i feel the urgent need of adding new configurations on my own without paying my dealer a visit (and some euros).

further, i like the idea of adding icons of my favourite cds on the beo5 to play these recorded cds on the bs3200 instead of having lists where to find the recorded cds.

regarding my current system adding a link speaker means a bigger plus than adding the beo5.

that's why i am still waiting. i guess there are some left next year...

we'll see 

I have just ordered one and feel confident that my dealer is capable in his job. Hopefully I receive the remote in time to vote!

My plan is to use the Beo 5 instead of Beo 4 to control the BS 3 plus the main room BS6500 via MCL.

Has anyone being able to get the software to do the programming themselves?

It seems, from the posts I have read, the dealers are having problems.  I am wondering wether it would worth having one.  I only use the BV 7 for movies and BS 9000.  I have not linked rooms.

Thanks,

Dario

I have the same system Dario. Do you think the Beo 5 is a worthwhile investment for us? I am wanting it more as a new toy to play with really. Of course the Beo 4 is fine, I just fancy a change. How about yourself?
