Is it possible to use BeoMedia 1 without turning on your TV?

Regarding the Beomedia 1 and navigating without having the TV on; well that works fine. But, what I'm struggling with when using BeoPlayer to maintain playlists, etc on the Beomedia is that everytime when I start up BeoPlayer on a PC it starts to scan and rebuild the database and with around 200gb mp3 files that takes a while. Are there any way of disable this painfull process of re-scanning media? Also, when scanning it seems as it does it from scratch. At least when I let BeoPlayer scan on another dedicated media system it's re-scans and only looks for newly added files which usually only takes 5-10 minutes and not 2-3 hours...

Nope, it's not possible to switch off the scan, which by itself is not a problem, but it activates BeoNetMusic, which is very annoying. I think the only possibility is to disconnect from the web, but that's not a viable solution.
