Intermittent loss of STB Control on Avant
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 5, 2010 16:51 GMT

[quote user="beolife"] New year new problems, I am experiencing a really odd issue on occasion, when I turn on the TV to SAT/DTV-Sky I lose the control by the numbers, i.e. I am not able to change channel by inputing the…

I bought a pair last week so they are still selling but in what volumes I don't know. I have to agree about the colours though - white and gold just don't seem right. Michael

Finally got this working at the weekend by restoring the factory defaults on the TomTom and setting it all up again. I must have got something wrong the first time round but I've no idea what. Thanks for your input Andy …

Thanks Andy, I got my TomTom to search for the Serene but never thought to try it the other way round!! I'll try it this evening. Fingers crossed. Michael

Hi, has anyone managed to make a hands free call using a TomTom connected to a Serene? I can get it to share the phonebook and to use the TomTom services but I just can't get it to make a call. In fairness, the Serene is…

Brightening up the place!

Lee, I think the prize draws are very generous at the moment. When they started, I expected the prizes to be quite small but to gradually increase in value as time went by - in other words, as BeoWorld's bank balance bec…

MacMini & Avant

Yes, my sole intention is to watch films. My thoughts are to use the iMac to set up the Mac mini remotely (and to copy films etc on an ongoing basis). After reading other threads, I'm planning to use an iPod Touch as the…

MacMini & Avant
in Beo-Mac · Jan 7, 2008 06:55 GMT

Hi, I am about to move from Windows to Mac in one big jump. My plan is to get an iMac as my main computer and to get a Mac mini as a media centre. The main thing I am not sure about is connecting the Mac mini to my Avant…

NEVER POSTED BEFORE?

jandyt: All Serenes come with the little slidey bit, but as it is usually open when you get it, most of us didn't know it was there! I've had my Serene since Christmas and I didn't know it was there either!! It has alway…

No good for gold

Van, I suspect that the green scale is actually the progress bar at the bottom of the Internet Explorer window. Presumably archie is timing out trying to connect to the payment page. Is this a third-party website? Might …

What do you like/ dislike about the new forum?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2007 13:22 GMT

I like the fact that the latest forum topics/posts are displayed on the home page, it makes the home page feel more dynamic. I never used to go to the old home page because it never changed but now the home page is the n…

Serene...is it worth £800???
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2007 13:09 GMT

Just to build on philipsmz333's point above, it isn't really the cost of the phone which is relevant, it is the total cost of owning and using the phone. When I took out my plan (with Orange), I negotiated a £10pm reduct…

Problem with my Beosound 9000 CD changer
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 18, 2007 06:23 GMT

Hi Dom, I had the same problem a while ago but I can't remember if it affected all CDs or just CD1. Just give the thing a good clean solved the problem - especially the sensors next to CD1 and CD6 (not the ones for the d…
