Yes, I am using the keys on the outer perimeter directly.

I don't know if the codes are always the same on BEO4 and BEO5. I downloaded the software for BEO5 and selected BV7-40 MKIV with stand and DVB-HD  in the menu.

>That's the problem - we have to use an external Sky box. My other HDMI socket is used for the PS3. My BM5 is now connected via components, as I don't need 1080P mode. I still could do with another HDMI socket for the Apple TV, which is yet to be connected!

Perhaps it is possible to disconnect the the DVB-HD and use the socket for SKY instead?

Yes - you can configure the hard keys of the Beo5 too.

And yes - it is possible to disable the DVB HD module in the BV7-40 MKIV, sw 6.03. When disabled you can use the DTV button for external sources connected to AV ports. You can also disable TV and use TV button on Beo4 for external sources. To dis/enable the modules navigate to TV TUNER SETUP in the menu.

Wow...this thread has gone mad......

We were asked if we're happy with our TVs and the thread is about whether we're happy or not and why aren't we happy. Hardly off-topic!

How do we let them know....if they're not prepared to interact with us?

It is, and that's possible, but the Sky HD box crashes my TV from time to time (HDCP issues?) so I ended up having to re-connect the DVB-HD!

Well i did not mean that the thread had gone offtopic, just the fact that everyone has suddenly turned very angry at B&O. I am not saying you have no right to be angry, just dont think all of your comments are fair. I cant tell myself, well not yet anyway, but you seem to base most of your negative  comments on mailfunctions and missing woweffect of BS5 and 7-40 MKIV.Thats two products in a large productrange. Maybe you are right about this, time will tell when i get to experience these two products myself, until then i cant specific comment on all the issues you are telling me about.

How do you let them know about your unsatisfaction?? Well for starters how about returning the products you are not satisfied with, that is not difficult and thereby they will know about their failed products through rising returnpercentages...If you keep your products regardless of you are satisfied or not, i am sorry to say, but then B&O are not the stupid ones...WE are....

That's your opinion of course. You forgot to add the Beosound 3 to your list. You also forget that I own a lot of the other products. My point was that many of the *recent* products, from about mid-2007, have sw issues. You can't have 'sw issues' with speakers. That rules them out. It's far easier to have sw issues with a TV, as you have to account for various TV standards, connected STBs etc.

Returning is only possible if the dealer makes it easy for you. Think about it. You can't just walk in to the store with a BV7-40 and drop it on their desk. The dealer has to go through a selection of testing procedures first. In my case, I'm receiving another BV7-40 MKIV before I make a final decision.

BTW you don't have to reply to every single comment you know. Just because you started the thread, the replies aren't personally directed to you :)

Really????, thought i had to :-)

I know they are not directed to me, however i started the thread because i have a personal interest in exactly the TV being discussed so i feel like i have to participate... Was not aware of the "Maximum reply per thread" rule, and even though a very famous, now sadly deceased, singer once sang "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough", i have apparently used up my quota so i promise not to reply to anyone in the future :-)

Have a nice weekend everyone, and cheer up..

I can't speak to the MKIV, but our MKIII has performed flawlessly with one exception  that was hardware related. B and O immediately sent two techinicians out who fixed the problem, two technicians who had to travel 180 miles to our home. We have a large amount of B and O, all purchased in the last 10 years and have always been happy with the performance and durability of the products. They all do exactly what they are advertised to and are expected to. I have always had excellent service from the dealer as well as B and O itself directly. They have always been willing to respond and answer questions.

Ehlerz, I agree with you about the amount of anger in posts. With friends like some of the posts, B and O does not need enemies, to paraphrase an old cliche'.

Hopefully you will return to posting and not be chased off by someone accusing you of posting too many replys, particularly when by my  count you only posted 10 replys in this topic while another posted 14. Somewhat hypocrytical to complain that you are posting too much, something you definetly were NOT doing. That is what forums are for, posting. It would be very sad if you chose to not post again in your own thread based upon one person's views.

Clearly that's directed at me Razlaw. Shall we compare how much B&O kit we own? Do you want to discuss what we've bought over the last 18 months? It's not a question of how much or little we own.

I think you clearly misunderstand being kind and frustration. If we didn't like B&O, we wouldn't buy the kit nor would we be on here. It's not all sweetness and love - if that's all you want to hear, then look elsewhere, as you won't get that on any forum. However, I'm realistic. If my MKIII and MKIV have caused quite a few sw issues, I'm not going to sit back and accept the issues, I want B&O to take more responsibility.

You and I will never see eye to eye. That's clear. However, you're very much mistaken if you believe that we're 'enemies' of B&O because we're more outspoken than others. I do wonder how you've become so successful - and must have to be in your position - without the ability to fight for your rights and encourage others to meet higher standards.

On a sidenote, I wasn't having a go at Ehlerz, far from it. I'm simply stating if one starts a discussion, one isn't obliged to reply to every comment, as if that comment was directed at them! It isn't. If you start a discussion point, we're just discussing that point - that point is whether we're happy or not and, if we're not, why not.
