The simplest of answers (question) would be: Is the rest of your internal network capable of handling the 1000mbps? (e.g.) If the card is connected to a 100mpbs switch... it will be a 100mbps connection. Can you provide more details on your network?

I assume you are running at least CAT5e which itself is only rated to ~350-500mbps? 6e can be rated at ~650-1000mbps. Though, I don't know how trusted those ratings can be... Some say 5e can actually handle 1k over shorter runs.

++++edit++++

I believe the next rev of "beo-linking" is to run on CAT7... might as well make the leap in anticipation...

:)

My house is wired for GigE with switches. A PC connected to the same connection links at 1Gb. Note the throughput is different from the rated connection due to framing, packet overhead etc.. but it should still connect with the 1Gb protocol regardless of the traffic unless the drivers in the cut-down WinXP doesn't support it.

I just wondered whether anyone had success with a 1Gb connection - and if so, if they had to do anything to the Beomedia to support it. 

With regard to Cat7, well it is rather thick cable - and relatively expensive - and also tricky to install. I wired 5 years ago, and not keen to pull it all out of the walls for quite some time, so I'll be sticking with ML cable if I can.

I'm afraid the most needed upgrade on BeoMedia 1 is the prehistorical processor, and this upgrade is probably also the most difficult, isn't it?🤔

Quite.

It would be ideal to pull the ML card drivers out of the embedded WinXP as well as the beomedia app (which strangely, i quite like), then put them into a better spec'd machine..

Did you make it to upgrade the memory and the harddisk,and does it work perfectly?

I want to try it too.

Gr, Frank.

All I can say that it NO benefit to upgrade RAM memory to 1 GB🙁

I have done it, no extra performance

This product is dead end....

Maybe only way is to move MLcard and clone HDDto another computer.

I had this idea couple years ago but someone said that It maybe be some trouble when updates

comes from Struer. It will check serielnumber online. I dont know but try it. BM1 is not worth any

money more.....sad it is🙁

Do not worry about that. As B&O has stated NO updates will come for BM1 from now on…..

😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

But although I too find my Beomedia I frustrating at times (video wise), The actual functionality of it is really not all that far from what Beomaster 5 delivers.

I, for one, having a BV9, would much rather see a further development of the Beomaster 5 to closely emulate the look, ultility and navigation of the Beosound 5, but render the BeoSound 5 screen look on my BV9 .

Off course, I would use my Beo 5 remote to help simulate the rotating dials of the BeoSound 5.

How 'bout it?, Struer?  Having to get up and move over to the small screen of the Besound 5, just to navigate music, photos and Net radio is just not an attractive lure for me, at this time.
