DVD1's are fine when they don't have the picture freeze problem. B&O integration worth a lot but they were (along with the V8000) vastly overpriced.

Beolink 1000 is better for teletext functions on earlier TV's. It also has the advantage of been able to toggle between audio and video volume and mute control without using the source buttons. I really miss that with the beo4.

The 1000 is by far the better back scratcher.

Can I start an "I dont care" team ?

Doesnt really matter to me. I usually just get up off my fat *** and change the channel or adjust the volume myself.

The Beolink 1000 is a far better product than, say... , the DVD2!!!!

I HATED THAT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡

ha ha the one that was launched at me hit my neighbour as i ducked in self defence but somehow i cant beleve it hit your privates below your knee????

I agree that BL1000 and Beo4 are a bit "tall," but I think both are great remotes. I own several of each.

I just can't get over how many of you hate the Beo1. I actually own a Beo1, and use it for a purpose for which it was not originally intended. I think it's great. Compare to the Apple Remote used for the Ipod, AppleTV, and Imacs which many have described as brilliant, and you get why I'm puzzled.

The Beo1 for simple navigation is a really cool product. I never liked the BL5000 and I never got the opportunity to buy a BL7000.

My vote for worst B&O product goes not to a remote control, not even the delicate 5000 (owned one of those too, for my ex 2-way 9500), but to...

Beolink Wireless.

"worst ever B&O" has been on the schedule before:

On most Beovisions, this is impossible! There are not any volume or channel controls on the set.

My least favourite remote was always the Beolink 5000 (I don't count the Beo1 as it is so useless as to hardly qualifying as a remote! 😁 ). The 5000 promised so much but is one of only a few B&O products where you need to read the manual! The 7000 managed to be far easier to use.

I love the Beolink 1000, i have had 4 and all of them could survive everything! Sadly, we sold our old beovisions (2 LX2502 and an LX2802-N, great picture on all of them), so now I only have one BL1000 left to control my Beosystem 5500.

Well, I don't use it daily, the MCP5500 is easier to use in my opinion.

Oh, and I think that the worst piece of B&O is those japaneese beocenters (2100, 2200 and 4000) and in particular the x-series of speakers that fit the tuner. horrible!

Opposite, B&O has designed pretty clever stuff. the tangential record players, fingertouch, 2-way remote communication, great design and electronic control well before the rivals.
