Ok, I’ll give you that - ‘advocating’ was the wrong word.

As you say, you predicted it!

Seems to be true!

But with less PUC and more CEC controlling, wouldn’t that lower the need for a BROne?

Also people are casting stuff to the tv....hardly a remote needed there.

And with less products to control, they might start not to focus that much on it.

Would be sad.....I certainly would not ‘advocate’ that, but kind of predict it ;-(

Today things aren’t ‘source driven’ anymore, but ‘content driven’.

Maybe we need a new - much smaller - BeoRemote

One with much less buttons.....to navigate through menus in app’s.....plus a couple of MyButtons.

Hi Steve, 

 

Thanks for that. Perhaps you could ask him whats the outlook for updates on Stage. I am missing two features: 1) linein delay 2) HDMI ARC source distribution

 

Thanks. 

Regards,

they're live!!!

Great video! Enjoyed it very much!
Thanks. I enjoyed it. I was lucky I woke at 7 am when it was on 👍🏼

John & Steve: Thank you for that nice little session. Looking forward to "beard swapping" of you two. 😕

Hi everyone,

A big thank you to all of you who joined us, that was great fun (although a bit nerve-wracking!)  John is a natural at hosting this sort of show, I think he is planning to get some guests on each week (although I'm hoping for a repeat invite so that we can carry out the beard swap!)

Also thanks to Mikipedia for all his help getting us set up for the live stream, your generosity and expertise made everything possible 🤒

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks,

Good question!  Have you seen John's latest video about stereo pairing?

We won't be able to do any live demos on this live stream, as John's store is closed at the moment, however we should be able to cover the pairing questions.

Kind regards, Steve.

HI Steve,

Hope you are well.  Would you be able to ask John or let me know about the Balance's optical audio port because I can now get it to work but I have to take the Toslink end out of my tv and put it back in each time to get the Balance to function on that source.  Can't B&O make the Balance prioritise the line-in/optical port so it just works permanently when connected.  Also, will B&O release an update in the app and to the Balance's software that will allow us to change the audio source?

Stay safe.

Kind regards,

Suneet

You’re very welcome Steve! 😁
