Hello Peter and Svend fans,

 

The new DVB-HD software is available 0.1.6.5.0.

Will try it tonight...

BTW, untill saturday I have build 165 on my BV10-40 and I noticed that you gain approx. 10 seconds to get a DTV picture and that the game mode stays on "memory" (when you switch TV off, the game mode is still "on" if it was "on" - before build 165 you always had to put it back "on" with Playstation 3).

That's nice.

Cheers,

Gregory

N.B. : I got a new screen installed because the old one made terrible cracking noises (it could have been the alu plate installed for less heat on the back and less clouds) and that new screen (new reference from samsung) still have clouding issues but of course no more cracking noises...

I confirm that the DVB-HD is now much faster than it was to switch on.

Doesn't seem to help om the start up time on my BV8 40. It still takes arround 32 seconds from i press TV till i get the curtains rolling to the side.

In comparison DVD takes arround 20 seconds. 

I'm not sure if the update was correctly installed. I put the USB key in an turned on the TV and got a yellow screen for a while. Then a little later it turned green. After turning of the set and turning on again and the inserting the USB key it says no update available when trying the official update instructions.

When i check the info for the DVB module it says version 0.1.6.5 released MAR 02 11 Model 0.8.0.0

If the version info is 0.1.6.5 the upadate was successfull. But you can also check it by pressing the blue key: If you hear sound after the EPG had started, the update is ok.

The software-update of the HD-module is not responsible for the start up time. For this you need to update the firmware of your BV by your dealer.

Ok thanks. Will the update from the dealer make the startup faster?

Yes!

Only the member "hotknife" in the german forum didn't recognize a faster start up time on his BV 8-40.

I'm very happy that you are getting new functionality. In the UK we don't even have a working DVB HD module. Pathetic.
