Question is:

Is the YPbPr socket an Option? Converters from HDMI to YPbPr are available.

Or what about using a HDMI HDCP remover to feed the DVI-I socket?

I have the same issue with Beovision 7 40 MKI (not hd ready), trying to connect a HDMI source...

Sure did, very good background information.

So, it does work, using a YPbPr converter?

I did not try the '...to component' converter.

Haven't got the opportunity to/the gear for this experiment.

But - as atated - I have the '...to scart' converter.

I am quite sure it will work.

How good it works, will depend on the quality of the converter - don't expect too much of a cheap conveter-thing.

On the other hand don't expect too much from a non HD-Ready tv!!!

If I had a 7-32 (non HD-Ready) I would go for the HDFury-solution - even if I had to use 'PC' from 'List' to activate it (just put it to the first place in the 'List').

Note: using a converter always means 'downscaling' - that is exactly what is needed to get things to work.

I don't think you need to downscale.

If the native/provided resolution is 720p (which is fine for me), the TV should be able to handle it:

The panel resolution is 1.366 x 768.

So, too be more precise: I want to display 720p material, what is the best way to do this?

Thanks again for your support!!

Many people in Denmark are using new (MPEG4) DVB-C/DVB-T2-receivers nowadays on their 'old' bv's.

Me too

I have installed quite a few 'new receivers' using a simple scart cable, and the picture was always improved to the earlier analog signals.

I am not sure that it is worth the effiord to handle with different converters/extra cables just to get a (theoredically) slight better picture.

But judge for yourself, when you have tried different options - and do let us know what you think/see.

Just my experience/opinion 🙂

P.S. And save the 'converter-job' for things with pure/only HDMI-output such as the AppleTV-box?

This little box worked!

I can now watch Netflix via a Smart BlueRay Player on my BeoVision 7 MK1!

Enjoy!

And which box/which solution did you end up with?
