Hi, the component socket is analogue therefore you got some sort of image, how did you connect the ps3 ?

Best thing is to phone your dealer and ask about the upgrade, they should be able to tell you straight away on the phone!

Why dont you ask a dealer about an exchange deal for a MII or MIII BV7-40

Good point D.C, I bought a Component cable for the PS3 from Maplin's as the only option I had for HDTV in the BV7's Menu was YPbPr. It was connected from the PS3's Multi-AV socket, which is usually just a composite connection.

I was planning to call them today but as I was made redundant 6 weeks ago, we have put a hold on all non-essential purchases, I wonder how I can get this one under the radar 👍

Thanks again D.C

Thanks Elephant, I'm sure things will pan out but it has obviously meant a re-jig of our financies. Aquiring the BV7 is the most positive feeling I've had in a while but funding the upgrade to HD will be difficult. It's a shame but if the BV7 was HD already then I would never have had the opportunity to trade my tv for it in the first place, so ever cloud and all that. 🙂

Total cost appears to be £450 inc. updates and fitting for the 1437000 HD Ready kit.

Although I could buy a new 1080p HD Television for around the same money, It wouldn't have the beauty of the BV7. so I'm going to attempt to get the nod from SWMBO and take it from there, I may be selling some of my older B&O to fund this however but that would be a last resort.
