I recently had the SW in my US market BV7-40 upgraded to version 4.12. One peculiarity after the upgrade is that the right side channel display for the ATSC tuner appears only when the DTV function is first activated. After ~10 seconds, the channel display disappears and does not return when the channel is changed. The volume level indication functions normally. Also, there is also an on-screen channel display in the upper right corner which I don't recall having seen before the upgrade, although my memory could be faulty on this point. Is there a software switch to select channel display either on-screen or off-screen, or is this just a bug in the 4.12 software version? I should perhaps also mention that the NTSC channel display works properly; it is only the ATSC display that disappears.

I don't know the answer to your question, but my best guess is that the software upgrade has introduced the problem. I suggest you call the dealer back who did the software update.

After update to 4.12 (from 3.5) my 7-40 MKIII doesn't recognize the different picture formats anymore. Also the picture quality is less then before. My dealer will downgrade the software again

Or wait for SW version 4.2 ? (or is that going to be a long wait?)
Yes, you are quite right; a friend using SW 3.3 confirmed the same behaviour, so I clearly just didn't notice it before the 4.12 upgrade -- I had had the BV7 in house only a few days before it was upgraded. However, I have since found a useful work-around: it is possible to recall the digital channel display by pressing the DTV button on Beo4. This also works on other inputs such as [analogue] TV. However, it would be nice if one could also recall the channel display by pressing GO or when using CHANNEL UP/DOWN, as one can with the TV input, if only for the sake of consistency.
