Hi, I am unsure if you are able to run two products with the same serial number, I would be a little wary as the product is registered to Bang & Olufsen over the internet so it may cause issues if their server recognises two identical devices. 

I too had problems with the internet radio database, I resolved this by opening the maintenance menu and selected 'Delete databases' I did this on the cloned hard drive just in case I messed something up, fortunately there was no problem and many radio stations that had stopped working became available. 

The system does then perform a reindexing which can take many many hours, you can still use the system but it will be doing lots of work in the background (rebuilding MOTS etc).

Kind regards,
Craig 

Thanks

In the maintenance part what does youre mention as last radio station update?

I just checked and under product info 'Last N.Radio update: 2022-02-15'

That corresponds with when I wiped the database and haven't had any issues since, strongly recommend you do this after you've cloned the drive though - just in case something goes wrong.

Super ! Thanks again !

Beomaster 5's (part of the BS5) has its serial number stored on both mainboard and harddrive. Both need to match. Otherwise you will get no updates.

Thanks this is the issue indeed. Nothing matches unfortunately.  Can You write a different Serial Number in the Motherboard and HDD with the service tool ? And make them match ?

You can't change serial numbers with the service tool. Only program "empty" harddrives or mainboards.
