maybe you just got a dodgy one that slipped out of the factory ??

do keep us informed as to what happens !

It´s hard to be in the frontline. I always try to avoid MkI.

i dont understand why sd should be worse on mk IV watching say ch4 

is sounds like theyve just rushed thru bluray due to customer demand although theyve had about 2 yrs to get it sorted

this is one reason i wont buy a beovision  i love the integration but they seem to dissapoint even true enthusiasts

Bizarre, isn't it? It's the same 1080P panel as the MKIII (albeit a newer version) and it's the same Sky HD input. However, the picture quality of SD is more like what you'd expect through scart. For example, if you watch a HD channel via scart, it looks 'wrong'. That's what SD via the new MKIV looks like.

However, I've now removed the scart lead, so it's HDMI-only.

Still crashes, too. But ONLY when watching Sky. If you watch DVB-HD, analogue TV or a DVD, it's fine!

so you can't watch sky hd via hmdi ?

and what's the dvb-hd for ?? there's no terrestrial hd channels until 2012

No, watching Sky - which I've done since 2003 - results in a complete TV crash. I have to then switch it off/on at the mains, including all the other kit connected to that mains socket.

DVB-HD module is in preparation for terrestrial HD, I was told! Funny thing is though, when it scans for TV channels, it puts them all in bizarre order (BBC2 on channel 18, BBC1 on channel 19 etc). Known problem, I'm told. Other problem with DVB-HD is that it uses one of the 'external' HDMI sockets. So, two are in use when you receive the TV.

I'm wondering if the DVB-HD module, connected to HDMI, interferes with the Sky HD HDMI connection? ie. some kind of handshaking issue, which causes it to crash. If I remove the scart lead (required for controlling the Sky box), it crashes far less frequentely. If connected, it crashes every 15-20 minutes.

Called my dealer, but no conclusion. They are going to contact B&O tech support. Nothing else they can do or are prepared to do. I want my MKIII back!

so they're either ridiculously ahead of the game ( dvb hd ) or behind the times , very strange way of running a company

i wonder if the people who were behind solid bno products like the avant have all left bno and been replaced by a load of out of touch art students ?

i was all set to get one of these for the front room , now i think i'll save myself a few grand and get a bravia

moxxey, you have the Film Mode in the original Service Menu and then the Film Judder Cancel in the Costumer Service menu.

I have set them to off both, but se the most diffrence turning the FILM MODE off in the Service menu. I will look in to it.

I have the BV8-40 and have turned off the film mode! The film mode was making the image seem unreal...Any other settings I should know about and try?

BeoCare responed to my mail and said that it shuld be 1920x1080p 100Hz when you watching a SD 50Hz source.

And 1920x1080p 96Hz when you watching a 24p source.

A new firmvare will fix this interpolation issue! So now we don´t have 100Hz updating freqvens on the BV7 MkIV.
