i have a bv 7 40 mk 4. the tv has only two useable hdmi sockets. the other two are used by the tv, for the blu ray and freeview box i expect. imo, this spec is not good vfm, since you can get a better spec at roughly 6 and and a half times cheaper! even if it means you've got loads of boxes and wires all over the place...but if you can afford it...

I have a MK IV as well, and to be fair, yes the Tv only has 2 available HDMI sockets, however there are 4. To compare with other brands you have to deduct 2 HDMI inputs for BD and DVD-HD (if one is not inbuildt) to get the same features. I know this is individual, but i will not need more than 2 extra inputs. I would instead like there to be a digital output for my Bl5´s for sound hooked up with HDMI... I dont get why this is not present?? What if you played your Cd´s on the tv, you are not able to fully use your lab 5´s possibilities. I mean, how hard could it be to have ONE digital output..??? 

Ehlerz,

If the BV-7 had this, Apple aficianados like me would completely bypass a B&O audio system by using the BV-7 as an audio master (to which we'd connect things like an Apple TV).

B&O's seemingly purposeful omission of this ability on their high-end TVs (which could be incorporated via the simple and logical addition of a digital co-axial output to the BS3), is IMHO a bad decision on their part.  I understand their apparent reasoning (i.e. protecting sales of audio master units like the BS5), but I think it a short-sighted decision that will ultimately cost them sales.

What does the move to 100Hz add?

More Hz?

😕

My dealer just confirmed a DVB-HD update in about 2 weeks. Hopefully this fixes trouble with slow switching, restarts, showing the right programs on the right time, and occasionally displaying a big grey "cant dekode" box even if the program is present.

Lets cross our fingers 

I presently have the sd freeview built into my BV 7 Mk III.  The interface is slow and sometimes take an age to populate with the programs.  Will this upgrade enable me to receive freesat or indeed freeview hd when it is broadcasted in the future?  

Hi Carl

Dont know if the update will also include other dvb modules sorry..
