Best way to stream media to a BV7 1.gen

12 replies

Hi Guys.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good product to stream files from my NAS to my Beovision 7-40 1.gen.  My TV only has a DVI input, so no HDMI.

2 wishes:

1: The box should ideally run Plex or XBMC or anyhing similar

2: Using the BO remote to control the box

All the best

If you want to run xbmc, have a look at the hw proposals at xbmc.org.

The latest version of PUC supports Microsoft 1039 remote controller (media center edition), so B&O remote can directly control the box.

I might be stupid, but i cannot find anything about this on the xbmc.org site. Do you have a link?

The only i know of from before is Boxee, but no other output than HDMI.

Apple Tv 2 jailbreaked will work with plex and B&O PUC. I have this setup running on similar product (BC 6-23). Be aware that you will need a DA converter for sound.

There are some xbmc based streaming clients and they should all work via B&O PUC for Microsoft 1039.  

HFX Cine Play XB2 streaming client tested on recet BV10-46 and 7-40 using QNAP as well as WD NAS.
B&O PUC for Microsoft 1039 is working. Real fun if you are using a customized user interface on a Beo 6.

Thanks guys. I have never seen these products before. But all of them have only HDMI output, and since i have a Gen.1 7-40, i am uncertain if it will at all accept a digital signal. Is it possible to upgrade the TV?
