Does anyone (with BO relations) have a clue on this one? I recently bought a couple of these for my TV-setups and it is simply astonishing! This is the kind of media player BO should have in thier on product portfolio (and then charge 10 times the USD 200 price I paid). Would love to see it in PUC-list sometime really soon! Please BO - serve your customers (for once)..

Your dealer who sold you your 100K system can create a PUC for you for very few $ more :0)

I think there are quite a few of these devices, unless it has volume in sales as like an Apple TV has I doubt they will add it on their own. And even if they do, you would still have to get your software updatded. It really is not that difficult to create a PUC it seems so I would I ask.

Cheers

I've offered to send a sample box to them (which they can send to BO). They said it was just a matter of waiting (and hope that more people request this upgrade)... I have three BV7-40 (and thress A-100 boxes) so I would gladly pay some money to get it done..

I believe they have shipped some 1.000.000 units by now (6 months after release) so you couldn't really call it a "nisch" product anymore. I fully understand thier success in sales though, wonderfull box!

What good would this do? I don't have Beo5:s but as I understand it they only communicated with the BO-equipment and does not act as a "programmable remote"!? Is this wrong? I was told (by my dealer) that before BO makes a PUC-table for the unit I cannot control it no matter what remote I get...

Hi,

As the Popcorn A-100/A-110 is not in the PUC you can either:-

  • Control it using as Beo5 or;
  • Use a Lintronic converter box to map Beo4 codes to Popcorn IR codes
