Not this one, i can take a little banter

But my point, i think is valid enough. You surely can’t disagree, that a huuuuuge overweight of persons who buy 10K tv’s are men? Or 5K or even 2K tv’s for that matter...

It’s just a fact that most tv’s are designes for men, and bought by men. Just like more hand bags, jewelery and beauty products are designed for women and so on...

🙄 think this might be the most I’ve eye-rolled so far this year. TVs, as with most consumer electronics targeted at the home, are designed to appeal to everybody around them - not one specific gender. Really don’t understand why you’re trying to drive this point home so much when it’s both nonsense and irrelevant.

I have sold many television in my youth in a Panasonic Center

90% of the time it was the man who wanted a new tv,

90% of the time I had to sell to the women, as she needed to be convinced.

So it is a matter of perspective, but I would tend to strongly agree with Fidse on this one.

I, like you am feeling a little miffed. I paid for mine as soon as they came into the store (for demo)!  I have been given two likely dates, both of which have come and gone.  I have been given a definite date now for the 5th June. It was supposed to be early April! We will have to see if it arrives then. #livinginhope.

Kind of preaching to a very small choir though. 😂

Congrats on the hockey win! I love the old saying, hockey is played on a rink made of a frozen manmade substance, blood. You've got to like a sport where they give the players sticks to hit each other with. 🙂

You're right of course, in today's (and even near yesterday's) world, software is far more important than hardware, and sadly it's long been one of B&O's weakest skills. My career was in defense/aerospace engineering, our software development teams and the rules they had to operate under were very rigorous and rigid. One thing that boggles my mind coming from that environment is how B&O seems to have no idea about regression testing and its importance. That's where you retest every single function the software had every time you make any change to the software, no matter how small. It's a staple of software development and software degree programs as well. I've seen a couple of cases where it wasn't done in my career, in some simulation test software by a very small company I used to work for, and the results were a total mess. Allegedly they did it to "save time" but by the time they had to recall and retest and repair all the mess they made, it saved neither time nor money and ruined the reputation of the company, resulting in a canceled contract.

As someone noted on the BV14 thread I think, handing it off to Android hasn't worked any better. Android has been a real disappointment to me over the years, it has never really lived up to the hype and promise.

I was looking up the Aussie LG site today - i think from my look at the C7 and the C8 user manuals that they are using the same "base" connector.  

So it should be updated by B&O i think
