Thanks Gerd!

 Looks a very nice solution. But I don't really understand how audio is handled in this setup... Anyone can explain?
 

Reading the PDF it reads as if it also connects to Audio C4 for control.  Although this isn't shown in the diagram.

I've been hoping this product would appear,  so a BIG thank you to B&O!  I guess this means the BV7-32 won't have the BS3 chassis, but who cares! 

Now I just need a neat solution to use this in conjunction with BeoMedia and I'll be happy!  At the moment my BeoMedia is connected on DVI and my SKY HD is on component.  Any ideas how I'll get round this?

I also don't get the text: "If an HDMI Expander is connected, the audio socket C4 is not available, since the HDMI Expander claims the C4 socket for control.".

"audio socket C4"? C4 is not an audio socket but an IR control socket. A4 is for audio... right? So what do they mean?

Also, the diagram in the first page shows that the expander is indeed connected to the IR socket... 😮

 I would think that the phrase "audio socket C4" should "IR control socket C4". Only then it would make sense...

Although this a good option, it's definitely not a MKIII replacement - the big difference is the BS3-based chassis and that the DVD upscales the source. The worst thing about my MKI BV7 is that DVDs are so dark and gloomy, they are difficult to watch. The same film through Sky or BBC HD is far brighter, which means it's definitely a DVD player issue..

I hope this HDMI splitter isn't too expensive. I've already paid £350 to upgrade the MKI to HD :)

I rang two UK B&O dealers for further info about the splitter in London; and I have unhelpful replies and comments and even some unfriendly and unkind remarks about Beoworld. If there were no Beoworld I would not have known about this-so thank you!

Yes, Beoworld seems to generate a love/hate reaction with many dealers. The same applies to Lifestyle AV and so on. The thing is, many dealers have second hand or ex-demo equipment available if you ask, so I don't see why they worry so much. I guess information can be 'evil', so the Internet, eBay, Beoworld and so on generates availability and info that traditional retailers fear.

The thing is, retailers can't stop change and being grumpy or dissing competition isn't going to make them appear in a good light. 

How do I know which software version I am on and will I be able to carry out the upgrade myself?

Thanks.
