I can confirm the signal issue - with RGB in, or HDMI from my ATV, my BV8-26 performs brilliantly - fantastic image.

 

It was my intension :-)

Is it real the beosound 5 for november 2008  and beosystem 4 with increasing performance for next year?

Moreover there some news about a dvd recorder with blu-ray before the endo of the year

Steffen Schmelling is interviewed in danish magazine Living Design issue 3-2008. He says that he´s at the moment works with new audios for Beo. But I don´t know if this means that they are launched this season.

I dont care much about other screen sizes - or even TVs in general with the current pricing politics ... 

I would love wireless distribution of Audio and Video though (simply always lacking the wiring for distributing the Video signal from my BV5 to the other sets - have masterlink in place - but that's only half the story) ...

And: both DIGITALLY, please ... Yes, I have loved and used Masterlink (analogue) technology for many, many years - but come on - this is the digital age now ... how long can it take to design backwards compatible DigitalMasterlink including video??? Use an open standard and give us proper usability, please! Otherwise, I too one day will have to consider Loewe's technology... 

A Beosystem 4 already? This is the first I've heard of this rumor. How reliable is your source?

I think all we see is a half ass launch of the Beosound 5, meaning not all control options will be available at start.

 

Then I think they replace the chassis in BC6 and BV 7 32". I also think the the Bv8 40" is coming with the same chassis as BV7 3".

 

for those ponying down to the Apple Store. I recently read a ritic of the Ipod Touch that seems to sum it up. "Where is the wheel. The navigation seems to be a step backwards."and it is. I was playing with it for a while at the store, and I cold get one free through Marriott Points at Skymall, I couldn't describe why it didn't exite me. Where is the wheel though sums it up.

 

What I do not like about Apple is the politic about marginal improvements. They always make you want the latest product, but do not exceed expecctations when it comes to improved functions. Think long song names that are scrolling in the display. Why wasn't that retrofitted to prior generations. Is just a software update, 

Some other news... all of you, planning to customize your products, (like painting them white - Lee); don't spend your money on white paint.

 

 O ohhh  -  did i say too much 😁
