I had a visit by my B&O dealer this friday, and he upgraded the software in my BV8 32".

He mentioned that all sw-modules had stepped sw version two times since I had my BV8 delivered.

Does anyone know what has improved lately in the BV8 32" software/firmware.

I recently had my BV8 updated to the latest software (6.???) and I have noticed that when listening in P Mute mode and you select standby, the picture now flashes on for a second and then goes out. Also the volume "fade" is truncated. The older software did not do this. I find the new software to be very non-B&O with respect to this as a quiescent picture and audio "fade" are a much more pleasant way to end a listening session.
