Nope :(
I saw the list of products due for release in the next few months (by mistake, I must add...) and there's no BV7-46. I asked my dealer and he said there's no planned BV7-46.
So, it's BV7-40 MKV or BV10-46.
Which products were on the list? I guess the new "BS5 light" but what else?
All the things we know. B&O don't go announcing secret stuff to dealers, knowing that customers might see the info. ie. iPod dock due soon, BeoSound 5 software update, BV7-40 MKV etc.
Hi guys, yesterday I´ve got my BV 10-46 replacing my BV 10-40. The size is quite impressive. The first impression is a brilliant picture quality with a deep black colour level using the Technisat HDS-2 plus. There is absolutly no clouding issue anymore. The software seems to be updated because on the first menu page "TV Configuration" you now have the options "switch-off timer" and "start timer". I will keep you informed. Yeti410
Congratulations on getting the new BV10-46. I wonder if you mount it on a wall or on a floor stand.
This is because of the actual software version Build 109e, which is also available for the BV10-40. But there is still no ACTIVE timer!Hi guys, yesterday I´ve got my BV 10-46 replacing my BV 10-40.

Following on from my "I couldn't resist" postThe BV10-46 was delivered and fitted two weeks ago. It was £8000 inluding the wall mount. It is a like for like swap on our wall for the old BV-5 and takes up almost exactly the same amount of wall space as you can see in the photo above. With Sky HD we have three means of receiving TV as it has both an analogue and freeview HD receivers built in. Although we have a white fret it should have been grey and we are waiting for one to arrive.
The quality of the picture is wonderfull (my wife describes it as looking through a window). SD is excellent and a true HD broadcast (HD cameras etc) is outstanding. Compared to the BV5 it is more vibrant with bright whites,black blacks and simply beautifull lifelike colours. I have tweeked the brightness and contrast slightly from the factory settings. Brightness up 2 units & contrast up 1unit. The sound is good although with the BL5 providing most of the output there is not much difference from previously, however the centre channel on a DD or DTS 5.1 soundtrack is much better. I never did get a good centre channel with the BV5 setup. There may be a slightly greater output from the rear channels but that may reflect a newer DD/DTS module in the BV10.
One main disapointment is the lack of built in rf modulator As you can see from the top photo it is the huge black box sitting behind the SkyHD box and supplies the signal for the link room TVs. It slightly spoils the generally clean lines of the overall setup. Also there is still the occasional "comet trail" from fast moving cricket/golf balls. For those of you getting a new SKY HD box, they have only one scart output. Some pins in the scart cable need to be disabled for the link room TVs to work properly (sorry don't know the technical details).
Overall however we are delighted with change.
Best Wishes
wow that looks really really nice, i would love to watch avatar on that screen with the sound track coming through the bl5s what a setup.

The 10-46 is mounted on the same floor stand as my 10-40. The big advantage for me was that the back-side of the new 10-46 is black, so that we still could use the black "x".form adapter plate.

I'm also planning to have mine mounted on a floor stand, as I reckon it's more B&Oish and majestic. But I don't quite get what you meant by the 'black "x".form adapter plate. Could you elaborate more or even show us some pictures?
