The answer is yes - see the ad at the bottom. You do, I believe, need at least one B&O product though! 🙂 The programming is not simple though - I would strongly suggest getting Keith involved.

I have used Keiths, Beo5 programming service, with excellent results.

I'm running the following non B&O equipment from my Beo5: Mac mini, Handan cable box and Philips DVD player.

My Beo5 can control our iRobot Roomba 560 :-)
