🎉 BeoWorld Struer 100th Anniversary Visit – Update 🎉

It’s getting closer now, and the excitement is really building! We can’t wait to see so many of you in Struer to celebrate this special milestone with Bang & Olufsen.

We’ve emailed everyone who has a confirmed place with details and/or a payment request. If you haven’t seen an email from us, please check your inbox (and spam folder just in case!) and get in touch with us as soon as possible.
👉 If we don’t hear back, we will unfortunately need to give your place to another member.

A few places have recently become available, and to keep things fair we’ll be doing another draw in the next day or so to allocate these. So if you missed out last time, keep an eye out for that announcement!

We’ll keep you posted with more updates as the big day approaches. The countdown is very much on! ⏳✨

📢 IT Move & Downtime This Weekend

Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads-up — we’ll be moving all of our IT kit over to the new building this weekend. That means there will be some downtime between Friday 5th September and Sunday 7th September while everything gets packed up, moved, and set up again.

We’ve got quite a bit to do:

• Giving the servers a proper clean and overhaul

• Swapping out the core network switches

• Making some big changes to the internal IT setup

The new internet connection is already live, so we’re not expecting any major hiccups. That said, there could be the odd bit of intermittent access, but nothing stable until the move is finished.

All being well, things should be back to normal from Monday 8th September.

Thanks for bearing with us while we get everything moved and upgraded! 🚚💻

slight chance

Yes there is, have been a couple of changes as members schedules change we definitely have a couple more places up for grabs.
Hopefully once we have received confirmation from all the members we emailed over the last couple of weeks, we will know how many more places there will be.

We now have a new confirmed (maybe) date for our ISP installation at the new office:

---

📅 Wednesday, 6th August 2025

• ISP Installation: Our internet service provider will be setting up connectivity in the new building.

• Service Interruption: Once installation is complete, BeoWorld will go offline while we update our servers with the new IP addresses.

• Estimated Downtime: We expect the forum to be down for no more than two days. We’ll work around the clock to get everything configured and tested.

It should be much quicker than the last shutdown, we are not hopefully more prepared. As long as the ISP can get their side running.

Good news about the speed.

I have wanted to move it onto a clean server for a while, the concern of not getting it back up an running stopped me previously 🤣

Sorry for the downtime!

Our ISP ended up cancelling their installation visit, so we decided to use the time to carry out some maintenance – including a move to a brand‑new virtual server.
It took rather longer than we expected, but everything should now be up and running smoothly.

If you notice anything amiss, just give me a shout and I’ll sort it right away. Thanks for your patience!

Did you replicate the original Bang & Olufsen fonts

Thanks, we tried to get as close as possible but as its a recreation it is was not something we felt that needed to be an exact match.

Thanks.

Here’s to a (mostly) smooth move—though we’re bracing for a few curveballs 😆 Once we’re settled in, we’ll post a video tour and share some new photos of the space!

We now have a confirmed date for our ISP installation at the new office:

---

📅 Wednesday, 16th July 2025

• ISP Installation: Our internet service provider will be setting up connectivity in the new building.

• Service Interruption: Once installation is complete, BeoWorld will go offline while we update our servers with the new IP addresses.

• Estimated Downtime: We expect the forum to be down for no more than two days. We’ll work around the clock to get everything configured and tested.

After this network cut-over, there will be a second, shorter shutdown when we physically relocate the servers into their new racks. We anticipate that will only last a few hours.

We’ll post reminders in this thread:

1. One week before the 16th July installation

2. One day before the installation weekend

3. Prior to the final physical move once those dates are set

Thank you for your continued patience. We’re looking forward to returning online with improved infrastructure very soon!

Glad you managed to find a solution.

Unfortunately collection of items and their repair cannot be free when its out of warranty, the repair company does need to make a living 😅

I’m wondering what a repaired motherboard is worth in terms of reliability vs a new one…

There is no difference, generally video engines (even when in stock) are service exchanged. This means that there is a stock of repaired boards waiting to be programmed when ordered.
Your old video engine would be repaired and put into the pool – if repairable that is.

I think Rich product pages Is a great idea.

We are looking at something like the following, if there are any other details that you feel could be added then please let me know.
Beolink could also be added to the relevant pages, something along the lines of Masterlink etc.

I have to bring the TV to the repair station

There is a shortage of motherboards (video engine) for the Horizon, this means that they are returned to the factory for repair – only after returning the faulty PCB does a repaired one get despatched.

Depending on your location, I would have expected field service to visit you and remove the PCB.

Thank you to B&O Dude for sparking this important conversation, and to everyone who’s shared their candid observations and memories.

Several members, including Severed_hand_of_skywalker, have described the forum as “dying a slow death” with noticeably reduced engagement compared to more active channels such as Discord. At the same time, contributors like Millemis remind us that while social-media groups can be lively, they often lack the depth and permanence our forum provides—particularly for troubleshooting older B&O equipment. It’s disappointing to see other channels recommended in place of our own community.

Evan highlighted how our format uniquely supports living project threads—from Centa Penta build logs to restoration diaries—that simply don’t translate to Facebook or Discord. Meanwhile, Chris T observed that the slowdown in new product releases over the past decade has naturally led to fewer fresh topics here.

Reflecting on our roots, Peter reminded us how this forum grew into a go-to resource for B&O enthusiasts worldwide, powered by shared passion and expertise.

As you may know, it’s just over a year since Multicare assumed ownership of BeoWorld. Thanks to our site sponsors and paid memberships, we’ve been able to keep the prize draw running and organise factory visits, which we hope to hold annually (or at least biennially). We continue to work behind the scenes to bring further improvements to BeoWorld.

In development

• Archive migration
  • We’re diligently copying archived forums into the current platform so no valuable discussion is lost.
• Rich product pages
  • A revamped layout for product pages, offering detailed information on each model and automatic links to others sharing the same attributes (colour, date, designer).
• Forum redesign
  • A refreshed layout for easier navigation, improved readability and greater engagement
• Custom performance plugins
  • Gradually replacing third-party plugins with our own bespoke versions to boost site speed and reliability
• Member input
  • We’d love to hear from you: what would you like to see from BeoWorld? How can we make the site more appealing, interactive and valuable for everyone?

We’re committed to preserving what makes this forum special. Please continue to share your thoughts below, and let’s work together to restore BeoWorld to its rightful place as the premier home for Bang & Olufsen enthusiasts.
