Really perplexes me why people make such a big thing of these 'features'. I wonder if people think they might need them, so figure they want them, even if they are never actually used? 

I've owned various B&O TVs on a motorised stand. Figured it was a luxury I could live without. I never move the TV! Sure sometimes it's nice to have it pointing in another direction when in standby, but it's something I can easily live without. And have done for years.

WISA isn't really anything to demand from your TV. PUC has long since stopped controlling modern devices anyhow. A Sky Q box is an example.

Also, this is designed as a cheap B&O TV to sit in the corner of your room. I think the wood option will look good, too. I'm already thinking if I use my GX 55" with the Eclipse v2 stand, I'll have a spare Stage which could be used with the Contour - I can't imagine B&O shipping the CX, much like it doesn't ship the GX with the Eclipse v2, leaving this to the dealer to order and install.

My Beoremote 1 controls my Sky Q box.....not sure what the issue is (unless I'm missing something)

Of course the BR 1 has its limitations controlling peripheral devices - it doesnt replicate full functionality of a SKY Q or Apple TV remote, lacking scrolll pads and voice control etc....so in that sense I can see why PUC shouldn't be viewed as some panacea, but its still does most of the everyday stuff well enough.

**side note, my SKY Q remote seems to be able to control the volume of my BV12-65 / BS4......wasnt expecting that?!  (not that I use the Q remote, its been hidden away.

Are you sure? How? The 4K Sky Q box is notorious for not being externally controllable. There was never a PUC option on my BV11 either (although there was for Sky HD).

What can you control? There's basic control via the TV, but I can't change channel, for example.

So for me it does not matter for me with the Contour, as it is only 48"

But these features I mention, I use everyday. 

PL to my Beolab 5

WiSa to my surround Beolab 17

PUC for my Apple TV

The Motorstand, When I sit in the corner of my sofa, I press one of the Mybuttons, and the TV turns to that position, while the Speaker setup calibrates it to that position also, so the sound is correct wherever I choose to sit. 

I would not buy a Beovision without these functions, at least not for my livingroom.

My point is/was, an increasing number of people won't or don't use them and controlling the TV direction from a remote really is a luxury not necessary on those low-end TVs. That's why they sit in that bracket. Almost no-one is going to connect a Horizon or Contour to a BL5.

I do agree PL is lacking and should have been added, but that's an issue with the Stage, but the rest for me - and many - are increasingly superfluous. 

We have to remember, and we almost never do, that the BeoWorld audience is not your general B&O audience and B&O has to design accordingly to the wider market.
