It is possible. Talk to a friendly local B&O service centre.

Even if you're not embarrassed to ask about this, I'm embarrassed for you. Liking the look of something is not nearly adequate justification to try and fake it. Would you wear a fake Rolex because you like the look? Carry a picture of a woman you've never met and refer to her as your girlfriend because you like the look?

I repeat: enjoy your Panasonic. A Panasonic is what you can afford, a Panasonic is what you bought. It's not a bad TV, don't get a complex over it. Buy a second hand B&O screen when you can. Until then, a Beo 5 or Beo 6 can be programmed to issue commands to the TV directly or as part of a macro which should make the integration easier.

Isn't this what B&O have already done for years! The only thing different is they charge quite a bit extra for the honour.

Hay your right.

i cant do it because they do ask for the serial number.

i have tried to buy it here in Aus and every store tells me that i need a serial number of a  BV4 65"

 

This is why I need help . I really want  to do this  ive got the cash to mod it and I have been thinking about it for awhile now.

 

I can see a lot of you out there don’t like this idea and not a lot of you are willing to help me so I guest ill have to leave it as a Panasonic.

 

Unless I can get a random BV4 65” serial number.

 

I was never going to sell it as a BV4 65” , its just for me  and my home.

If I ever sold it I will keep the frame for my next 65” plasma.

 

If anyone can provide me with  a random serial number pls email me.

As I don’t want anyone to see it here.

 

hilton@aservice.com.au

 

or if you have a BV4 65” just give me your SN number without the last two digits.

 

And I also would like to thank every one that has help me so far.

 

 

 

 

And you don't think, that Bang & Olufsen check, if you are the owner of the Beovision 4 you give up the serial number for, since they ask for it? I don't know, if it is punishable to give B&O a serial number on a Beovision 4 you don't own, while you claim, that you are the owner... Maybe they will think, that you have stolen the TV? Unless you could show them a reciept, which you can't... I know this is the out in the extreme but: And the real owner of the TV with the serial number you gave B&O has accidental got his Beovison 4 stolen... Who do you think they suspect? This starting to move out on a downward path.....

No matter how strange, Hilton has every right to do whatever he wants, so long as he doesn't sell this as a counterfit. On the other hand, B&O dealers (and Factory) also have a right to do what they want. They can absolutely chose to sell, or not any single part or component at retail.

I just don't agree that this is the place to be emabarassed for people attempting to Mod their systems. The only critisism I have of Hilton is asking for help with Serial Numbers in a public forum.

I still defend the right for anybody to do anything they want, within the law. See

what he said :)

So where is the line drawn re intellectual property and trademarks?

counterfeit is counterfeit, whether it's for public consumption or not.

@ hilton:

If you can afford 24k gold plating on your speakers and remote, then you should also be able to afford a BnO TV 😎 😕

-or maybe that's why you can not afford a B&O...👍

I disagree that counterfeit is counterfeit. While on a moral level counterfeit may have some universal definition, and while there are absolutely international conventions that define counterfeit, this is a legal term that is likely to vary somewhat from nation to nation. Furthermore, I believe the reference you make, precisely answers your own question. In this case the intent is to deceive for commercial gain.

Here is just one

Has anybody else checked what "aservice" is? 

This guy is a low life.
