Could not get the menu working with the red button, but did work with 0,0,GO...No sign of HDTV though. TV type is 9252.

All I'm wanting is to make th TV HDCP compatible, so I can use the PS3 for digital sound?

Cheers TC

I am not sure that anyone should say that you do not need an HD picture on a 26". Beobirds comments coincide with my experience here. If its <1.5 metres then it may be worth having and in consequence should be provided.

My dealer had a BV6-26 next to a 7-32?(could have been a 40) and dared me to guess which was operating on HD and which on SD. To me it was bloody obvious and it was the 7 that was HD. The detail was much better but I was quite close at the time - the size of the shop prevented a distance comparison.

To those who say just find another dealer then I say its easier said than done. I am in Truro, Cornwall and the nearest B&O dealer to Truro is Exeter which means its great if you want to collect but no good for installation and back up. I have recently abandoned my dealer and have been buying from Lee, whose customer service far exceeds the standards of my formal dealer. There are many that could learn from his approach.

Why should Keith, Zwets and myself believe that what they bought could handle HD reception only to find that they couldn't? Is it because we were misled? (either by the dealer or by B&O's advice to the dealer). Do they think so little of us as customers that they feel they are strong enough to do this?

Zwets has sent me a copy of a document which makes the situation clearer. According to what I see you cannot guarantee having an HD ready 6-26 until January 2006. There are a few months before that when you have an increasing chance of getting one as stock changes over.

As I have said before I feel very aggrieved at this because I did ask and let me assure you that nobody said that if you defer your purchase till Jan 2006 then you will get an HD ready set. We live in a world were it is not what is said that is important but what is unsaid. It also makes the 2006 model that I missed on Lee's site more significant than I thought. I never at any stage believed that my 2005 model was not HD although it was through DVI not HDMI.

If I am going to be so dissappointed after paying so much my only conclusion  is that I had might as well pay a lot less. It may be the very best 26inch lcd TV around but its an analogue non HD TV which wont be the best around soon.  

Does the current model feature HDMI? or is it still DVI? is there any difference with a Pre-Jan-06 upgraded model and a new one bought today?

The current model does NOT have HDMI

Yes I can truly understand the spirit of your e-mail. I am sure that my dealer would have a different view and am open minded enough to freely acknowledge that. However I came away (mistaken--misunderstood or otherwise) really believing that I had an HD capability through the limited means of a DVI. This belief was so burnt within me that I have been telling everyone who has asked that it could receive HD pictures through the DVI and was the reason for the shock on my part when I found out otherwise.

My dealer is B&O in this area. There is NO alternative with the exception of using secondhand which is what I have been doing recently. I cannot go down the road and go to an alternative dealer. There is one for the whole of Cornwall with only one shop. Thats it!

I too bought my set from the dealer in Truro, Cornwall, who provided a great service. No-one at the time knew what the HD world was going to do at the time. The biggest problem is HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) it stops HD from being played back via blue ray disc etc. What is needed for the BV6's is a HDCP adaptor to plug in, to bring the set up to date. That way we could still use the DVI port for HD content.

The other thing is I wish there was a way to link the DVI port to the Digital line input for 5.1 sound??? I would be very happy if anyone knows how to do this? At the moment i can only link the digital inputs to the scart inputs!

Thanks
