Hi,

I am planning to move to France from Canada. I own a B&O BeoVision 10 32" since 2011. After checking with the online B&O specs on the television its states the following;

Special requirements for France, Italy, Taiwan and Australia 
Cofdm (coded orthogonal freq. division modulation) spectrum 

Where can I find more information on the special requirements needed to operate the television in France?

Best!

Patrick

The move from 110 to 220v shouldn’t be an issue (the power supplies are usually designed to support either voltages).

The issue is the digital aerial TV tuner which will be incompatible, but you could use a set top box to watch TV...

But considering the average used selling price for a BV10 32 in Europe I would consider selling your TV and buying a Beovision in France, you’ll spend less for the same or spend the same for a more recent TV.
