Typo……Dish Hopper.
As per the addiction thread - I've just installed a Kaleidascape Server so I can get some really high quality video and some mind-blowing sound effects. Truly impressive.
Ive had a number of issues with the Theatre - not just installing the Stratos but also with the Oppo BRP. There is a bug in the BeoApp, BR1, Theatre firmware. It has caused a number of forced factory resets if you do it the "wrong" way.
Im using 3.5mm input jacks connected to the IR-in of each device, PUC A+B Lan to the Theatre.
- When changing the PUC register, the system is sensitive to changes and can lock-up. Names in the BR1 dont get updated.
- Adding the same PUC control to HDMI A and HDMI B locks up. (problem if you have to solve which is A and which is B. (RJ45 Pin 5/6 is A, Pin 7/8 for B)
- Did not realise that the PUC register is extensive in the BeoApp but you cannot scroll. You have to search. Maybe what you want is in the list (DishTV S7090 PVR and Dish Generic DVR are there).
- When applying your PUC configuration, I have found to save lock up of Theatre, BeoApp and BR1, select another source on the BR1, Live TV, then make the PUC change.
- A reboot may be required to initiate the new config.

For me, wired as much as possible.
Interesting in the Theatre and SMI design. There is no room in the theatre for cables - particularly at the base or on the top exit...and there is so much unused room inside the SMI.

I have also gone for a BeoSound Theatre. I returned the Canton Smart Connect which was absolutely rubbish and a customer support that went into hiding. The shop I bought it from was nice about it all and reported they had now had more complaints as more and more have eARC televisions.
I had a concern that the BeoSound Theatre can only be setup with a smart phone and if B&O was not to continue update the app. However I assume if I keep an old phone with the app installed that should in theory continue to work.

yikes! wired all the way, but that is fairly cramped!
Did you do it yourself?

New Theatre owner here. I have a couple of questions regarding my setup.
Right now I only have the Theatre with 2x6000s as Surround Left and Right. Room Sense automatically disabled the left and right firing speakers of the Theatre. Is that the best option or should I turn these on again as an addition to the 6000s?
The 6000s when setup as surround are really quiet most of the time. I assume that is normal for surround speakers.
If I added Beolab 18 as Front Left and Right, the Theatre would disable its corresponding channels. I could then reassign them both to Center. Does that make sense or will it make things worse?

Very good questions and I have wondered about many of them also. The only one I can give any input on are the 6000s. When I initially set up my Theatre (with BL28s as fronts) I tried 6000s as rears. I also did not hear much from them. I then replaced the 6000 with my pair of Beolab 1s. Huge difference. I now hear sound from them almost constantly. I was surprised how much difference the larger speaker made.
Interesting because when I select the 6000s as Front/Left instead will play much louder and just fine. But once in Surround Left/Right position, I can hardly hear them. I could manually raise the DB on these but I thought Room Sense is supposed to that all for me. Just difficult for me to decide whether Surrounds are supposed to be rather quiet or if there is a bug with the Theatre and 6000s.
