Hello David,

I had the same idea but came up with a BV5 connected to a BS3. This gave me more flexibility and is more future proof. I even prefer the looks over the BV9.

If you're interested, you can read this:

Have just read the post, I think it would be too much work for me to do. I havn't got that much spare time on my hands,well done though.

If anybody with a HD BV5 can share their thoughts it would be great to know what you think of it.

Cheers,

David.

Hi David,

I am in a simoular position. I wanted to go for the BV 7-40 MK III. Now I have the chance to buy a BV 5 MK III from August 2004. The problem is that the seller claims it is HD-ready but that I am not certain it is. (I thought MK IV is the first HD -ready BV 5, can anyone confirm?)

I have seen the picture of a HD-ready BV 5 and in my opinion it is a great picture (als on cable). So if the BV 5 that is offered to me is HD-ready I think I am going to buy it.

Image quality on a HD BV5 is superb!  Even though it's 720, it gives an image equal to or better than a lot of non-B&O 1080, and the only annoying bit is that you have to go DVI for the picture and scart for the sound from the HD box...

Hello Lee,

We only use Sky+ HD boxes in our house because we don't have a good enough aerial signal. Would the BV5 HD work well with the SKY+HD box?

What model should we be looking at to get the best PQ?

Cheers,

David.
