Serious question - has anyone asked their dealer about any assurance of TV serviceability/repair period? It would be pretty galling (to me at least) to have to throw out a £7.5K B&O Soundbar because the £1.5K TV was obsolete/unrepairable!

I did.  The answer was 1) B&O is required by law to stock repair parts for 7 years and 2) future LG TVs will fit into the SoundBar.  I'm a little skeptical about 2) since having LG commit to maintaining a specific form factor for a number of years sounds rather optimistic. 

In some ways, this challenge exists even without taking repair into consideration.  That is, LG releases new TV models every year - will B&O have to update the SoundBar every year to fit a new TV?  Will LG continue making the 2017 TVs so B&O doesn't have to update the SoundBar?  Will LG maintain at least one model that fits the SoundBar?  

This isn't their first rodeo so I would hope that these details have been well worked out as part of the partnership.  The only question is how long does the partnership last...

Sounds reasonable, although I thought it had been said that your no.2 wasn't in their plans.
