But I must admit, that I never saw the point in doing so 😠

It might make sense if they wanted to listen to music for as long as possible (rather than adverts) whilst the wife is waiting for her cookery program to start 😕

Ok - I give in 😁

Another reality, I guess.

We - neither my wife nor I - watch channels with adverts. We don't have to!

Only one of 'our channels' has adverts - but they are always in between two programs. Just right for peeing - or making coffee....or sneakpeaking Beoworld!

Very interesting thread. Related to this. In the setting with the Playmaker connected to the BC, would he need to turn on anything when streaming to the playmaker or does the BV sense the signal? Could the playmaker also be directy connected to the BV and in this case would the BV also automactically detect the streaming without the need to turn it on?

It won't autodetect, so he'd need to press A.MEM or A.AUX in whichever room he wanted the audio produced.

It could be connected this way, but still wouldn't autodetect a signal and as the inputs of the BV (or BeoSystem in this case) are video inputs it doesn't make much sense to do so unless you really have no other option as it means extra button presses to select audio only and may involve the screen coming on then off again.

Got it. I am still looking for an option to stream audio to my BLs that are connected to my BV without any push on the control involved. It works with the BC2 for CDs if my memory is right. So, I am looking for some set-up that alllows the same for streaming music over airplay.Not possible?

Thanks for all help. 

For me it's important that everything is easy and simple to use. I'm so happy with the way my Playmaker turns the Beolabs on automatically when I start playing music from my iPhone. So I think I will leave it like it is for now.... But I will connect my BC2 to the BV4/BSys2 to be able to play DVD :)

BTW: Can someone please explain to me what's the difference between A.AUX and A.MEM ?

I fully agree with you. I am just wondering whether there is really absolutely no way that you can stream via airplay to Beolabs (turning them on automatically once the Beolabs are connected to your BV? No combination with whatever adapeter, BC or anything else in the world you can imagine? I am really quite desperate to have my Labs connected to my BV for surround sound and at the same time being able to stream via airplay to my Labs without touching my Beo4. Any idea?
