Yes is the simple answer to that statement. However the reason why is because (for whatever reason whether it be misunderstanding or otherwise) I came away from ordering my BV6-26 in 2005 with the understanding that it could receive HD reception even if it be through a DVI socket with all its limitations. I now understand that this is not the case and I now have two of these damned machines which have cost me something like £6400. I refuse to be taken for a ride any longer but will enjoy the equipment I have till it gives up (bearing in mind that both TV's have 18months warranty left).

This was never about money -- from what I gather the Arcam Solo 5.1 is around the £2000 mark -- its about the fact the B&O and some of its dealers have forgotten who the customer is in this relationship.

Not beating the dead horse, I think your problem is, that HD Ready is not really a clear defined attribute of a TV. Back then when you bought the set, HDMI was a new upcoming standard.

For example here in the US, our Beosystem 1/2  was sold with component connection as HD Ready I believe because it could handle a high definition signal.

Not sure if this is different in the UK, but I am thinking that your dealer may not have done anything wrong at that time by stating the set is HD ready. Times just move on so quickly with TVs and this is biting you in the back.

Honestly, I don't think that Arcam thing or Lynn Classik or what else is there will make you much happier. 2 years down the line, you look at an obsolete piece of electronic junk.

With B&O, at least you have a good looking piece of electronic junk at that time. Giving your existing equipment, I would look for an upscaling DVD /Blueray if you must that can be controlled via  STB. Personal opinion, I would stick to what you got. Seems to be OK for picture size of the TV. If you must shop, I would choose the BC2 for looks.

My personal thoughts on this matter are,thus.

If you want to go, go now. Don't keep bleating about it. I don't see the point!
