Spoil sport!

do you remember santiago with the beoplayer sw, great.

the beo5 configuration sw is very complicated to understand. now i have play 3 hours and i say woooowwwwww.

hello santiago

the sw is 89mb big!!!!

i'm looking for you.

 

Only in the B&O bizarro world would people be eager to pay $800 for a remote control that is not programmable to control any other equipment (a feature available for 1/20th this price). To add to the insanity, they won't even give you the software to program it. Just a trip down the dealer every time you want to change something on it?

I suppose the reason that we are willing to put up with the fact it won't directly control other makes is that this is simply not important to some of us. The only non B&O items I have are controlled by PUCs and hence integrate into the whole system. I wish to be able to access my sources throughout the house, and this is what the Beo5 is spectacularly good at. Other manufacturers codes would not be useful in this scenario.
