Beovision 8 26/32 Hdmi vs VGA

11 replies

Hello forum

I have two tv-boxes a DVB-T and a DVB-S as I want to use on a Beovision 8 26/32. So I was thinking of using the HDMI and the VGA (via HDMI to VGA cable with sound). 

Are there any of you who have tried the two ports - are there any difference on the picture quality?

There are a big difference on HDMI and scart, though it is not a HD television.

How about using a switch for the HDMI-in?

would rather like to use to channels at the tv, like v.mem and dvd. 

Hi,

Although you can input 720p signals to the Beovision 8 26/32 via VGA and Component video, the clarity via HDMI is FAR BETTER.  I use HDMI for my Humax Freesat box (used 95% of the time) to my BV8-32, with VGA for the PC input (3% usage) and Component Video for the PS3 (2%).

An HDMI switch box is another option to connect more than one box via HDMI, but the TV will only be able to control one device this way (I would suggest setting the STB output to control the device that you use the most).

Kind regards, Steve.

Another solution would be to get a combi-box with both S and T tuners.

Okay, if the VGA has a bader picture, then I must use a HDMI splitter. 

A combi-box that can handle Canal Digital Denmark and the new german DVB-signal (H.265) is hard to find.

Ja, det er helt sikkert ikke muligt!

Det er en CD entertain mini boks - ved du om det er muligt at udskifte DVB-T modulet til et nyt opdateret med H.265? 

Sorry we write in danish! ;-)

Det kan jeg bestemt ikke forestille mig - H.265 som kodning af DVB-T bruges så vidt jeg ved kun i Tyskland.

Hvilke (tyske) DVB-T programmer er det, du vil ha fat i?

Måske ville en ATV4-boks med CD’s app plus de fra nogle af de tyske kanaler også være en mulighed.

Så er der kun brug for én HDMI.

Tænkte at det måske kunne være muligt selv at finde reservedelen, som er selve DVB-T tuneren. Nej det er ingenlunde muligt at gøre det fra Canal Digitals side. Så skulle man selv kunne åbne boksen op og sætte et andet DVB-T modul i.

Jeg kører hellere to bokse med en hdmi-splitter end alt muligt med Apple tv. Jeg vil gerne se alle de tyske public service, Das Erste, ZDF, dritte programme, Arte, 3sat, Phoenix osv. 

Tror det ender med en Hdmi-splitter - også begrænset hvad man vil ofte på et BV 8-26-32 ;-)
