To any owners of this combo.. how reliable is it in everyday use? I understand the units communicate over eARC HDMI, Ethernet and Bluetooth (remote), is it flawless as though it were one unit? Any glitches, issues requiring reboots/power cycles?
I also wonder whether the tv sound playing on the stage can be distributed to other speakers over NL using join?
Many thanks! Rob.

Thanks Miki. Can you distribute the TV sound to other NL speakers?

Can you say more about the delay? You’re losing lip-sync between audio and video? Or are the the multi-room slightly out of sync and audio/video stay in sync?Yes, but not for surround or any of that nature. It’ll have a slight delay
Reliability... well my dad has this set up and the stage freeze frome time to time. It means there is no control of the tv nor the stage. The thing is, it's not ony from the beoremote that control is lost, but the stage doesn't react to any presses of buttons on the unit itself either. Not even the on/off button under the trim, and the only way to reset it is to pull the power cord and reconnect it again.
Haven't found any reference to this issue online, so probably a rare issue and might need to replace the unit.
"Edit: see my post on resolution below"
Ah, sorry, yes only the multiroom products in another room are slightly out of sync with the video because of having to send it over the network. The stage and tv stay in sync no issue, what ever you do.
Can the headphone jack on the back of the LG be used as line out (fixed volume) simultaneously with the Stage do you know? I'm thinking this could be fed into a ML aux-in for distribution with no delay.

This is what worries me - it is also my Dad wanting this set-up who would not tolerate any software glitches. He is used to Masterlink which just works :)

I had this combo about a year - since the Stage came on the market - and used it daily without any glitches.
The only time I had to reboot it was due to an internet connection dropout caused by my internet provider rebooting my cable modem.
Was very happy with it.
