Does anyone think there will be a HDR3?
Because BS5 isn't a "replacement/upgrade" for the current HDR2.
Or should you suggest I hook-up a 3-party recorder to my BV7-40 MK3 (but what about comfort of use; can I control all functions with a beo4/5)?

HDR3

HDR2 is very recent, so I do not think there will be a replacement soon.
What do you not like with it?
Depends on what you call "very recent": produced since 2006 (or maybe 2007).
3-party brands may seem more advanced / bigger storage. I don't need the looks of the HDR2; it will be hidden...
If you read the latest strategy from B&O, send out a few months ago. B&O will not focus on external video devices, as DVD players and hard-disc recorders.
I’m pretty sure, if you will see a HDR3, then it will be another brand in B&O design.

Sky+ integrates very well with B&O and offers two tuners and a decent sized HDD. Works fully with a Beo4. Having said that, thanks to Keith, most external devices will work with a Beo5 now.
My B&O Icons:
I have a HDR1 and I am very happy with it. HDR2 is a bit better.
If you go for a non B&O device, I really suggest, like Peter that you go for an all-in-one Set top box + HD recorder.
A lot of them are supported by the STB-C or PUC of your TV.
The advantages are big over the direct control through Beo5.
- STB-C works with both Beo4 and Beo5.
- STB-C can control your box from a link room.
- You can use your TV timer.
What would help us helping you, would be to know how you get your TV? Terrestrial? SKY? Cable? Satellite? DVB-T?
I live in the Netherlands and get my TV by cable.
I can understand why they won´t focus on hard disc recorders, but surely they need Bluray player also for BV9 for instance.
Satelite tuners, hard disc recorders etc can be hidden. A bluray player you have to touch, and I certainly don´t want a Sony (or other) player visible in my living room!
There is a campain in Denmark at the moment - where B&O shops are selling HDR2 at aprox. half price.
Is this the end of HDR's from B&O?

I do not think that will end with HDR.
Inside beo5 configuration tool in the map image is hdr3.
