I live in Southfields, close to Wimbledon

Agree, I'm not asking to have it for free :) I just think 225 pounds to update the list of the remote devices is not a fair amount of money to ask.

The TV is expensive, I know... but it's a very nice product, you pay for something different... having someone to come with a laptop to upgrade a list of IR devices for that amount - in my opinion - is too much.

In 2012 we should be able to download updates from internet and easily upload into the TV, without requiring a technician to come.

I'm a dreamer :)

 

Mine does. It's part of the negociation.
Of course, you're right.

My point is that the update of the PUC list shouldn't be charged as it is a very simple operation for a dealer especially with the more recent TVs as it can be performed via masterlink.

Now everytime I change my stb, blu-ray player etc... I have to ask my dealer to come and update the PUC list, and he will charge me!?

As said previously, this should be part of the negociation at time of purchase.

If you or anyone needs a SW update or PUC update in London I can do it for a reasonable cost.

Just get in touch. I'm a B&O installer.

Is this the Wimbledon or Kingston dealer charging this much? I ask as they are your local dealers and Kingston is owned by B&O UK, Wimbledon on the other hand is independent so prices may vary between the two.

Try a company called J&A services in Kingston, they are very friendly and do very good service/repair and even install work.

Thanks Louis, I just got it done yesterday but good to know for the future! if you want to get in touch with me.

It was the one in Wimbledon...

I got it done yesterday! by coincidence it was J&A :) very nice and 1/3 of the price!!!

Thanks for the tip.

In any case I saw that there is a big span of price... I called different dealers, the higher I found (the 1st I called closed to where I live) was 255, others 155 etc.). J&A was the best I found.
