My LG TV added my LG washer and dryer. It would actually be useful to see notifications of washer and dryer cycles finishing. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to do that.

Checked the settings on the G2…..there it does show connected to internet by Ethernet.

Also, note that we can now assign the “Center” role to the Theatre’s Front and Left Front-Firing speakers. I’m interested to compare the difference with these added speakers.

Wait, how you do this? I have the beta app and the latest firmware and it still won’t let me do that.

You must follow Razlaw's instructions. You first create a listening position and save it. Then, you go back into that listening position, select the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Advanced." Then, you can go into the speaker settings and assign the role to the front-firing speakers. The public B&O iOS app update just came out this morning to allow me to do this.

indeed, and I've looked that video many times to get some idea.

The one difference in my situation is that the wiring will pop out from a hole in the wall - and effectively emerge behind the Theatre, So as long as we get the hole positioned correctly, the Theatre should be able to be pushed back flush to the wall.

Some precision required - but I've got the a-team on the case (or so I trust!).

Remember that, if you choose to do this, the Speaker Distances and Speaker Levels that you assign to multiple outputs with the same Speaker Role have a HUGE effect on the perceived result. This is also true with VERY small changes in parameters when the physical sources are close together. In other words, don't jump to conclusions about how things sound" without playing around with the parameters significantly.

I note the latest update on the app has the ability to add third party speakers now (via power link). I might look into using my hifi speakers as some sort of front L/R channels in the future.

The installers came back to hook up the Beogram and to change the table stand to the 'against the wall' type. They also did a better job with the cables. Sadly, the cable I was waiting on did not arrive on time for the Beogram so I ended up buying some cheapo stuff from Amazon. The Line-in volume is significanlty lower than streamed music, I have the volume way past 50. It sounds alright  but I little muddy to my ears. There is a large distance of 15 metres between Beogram and Theatre (before I had QED 79 which was lovely.)

Anyway, the Beogram thing is a project for after the new year. As for other music sources, the theatre sounds great and I am really settling in with it.
