Thank you to our Sponsors
I'm really looking forward to see what the engineers in Struer have been up to the last years in bringing Masterlink into the 21 century. Until now I haven't seen anything concrete.. but the picture of the B&O Masterlink Distribution is promising and the fact that it's standardized on Cat7/Class F is a big step forwards!
My B&O Icons:
Lauritz Knudsen already use cables with an ethernet plug in one end and a Masterlink/Powerlink in the other, as part of their IHC system, which is brilliant.
You can see a movie about B&O in the IHC system here: link (unfortunatly in danish and without any footage of the cables and the module used)
Cables?? Well that's forward looking isn't it? Everyone else is investing in increased wireless audio & video connectivity.
Cables will always be better than wireless. Although cables can pick up interference, wireless can easier be blocked by interference from other devices, walls etc.
Peter,
If the complaint was of the nature of B&O complaining about a discussion of leaked future product details, I'm very glad to see that you've allowed the thread to continue. I have always felt a concern that having B&O as an ad sponsor of the site could lead to pressure to control the site and its content. It's nice to see that you are keeping the site's integrity in allowing a worthwhile discussion of such interesting developments.
Isn't there a network socket on the latest BV7-40?

I think the complaint was more that Bosscom was making some kind of advertisement in the form of addons on B&O's future Masterlink products :-) Nothing to do with revealing un-announced B&O products (I hope..) :-)

Not me !
I did invest in wireless - I have a mother ship and two satellites :-) and I am disappointed :-(
My experience (even after months of support from B&O [thank you Tony for your great help and patience]) is that my wireless will work perfectly some days for hours and then other days it will be intermittent and drop connection for 5 to 10 seconds, and sometimes not recover.
The wireless will absolutely fail every time the microwave in the kitchen is used, and that is not even in the line of sight!
[of course this could just be a terrible microwave, it certainly is not a B&O one]
It also seems to be weather related ! Recently we have been having rain and it has been failing more often
[I know, my brain is drawing lines between dots that dont exist]
And we are the second house away from a railway line, and lately when the electric trains go past *frizzle* there goes the wireless for 10 seconds.
So that is why I am thinking of moving to a wired house and why this potential announcement is of vital interest !

As part of the Blu-Ray support ... not sure what happens if you buy a new 7-40 sans Blu-Ray ...........

And the 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity will only get worse, not only because of microwave ovens. These are spread-spectrum communications, meaning that two unassociated devices, even on the same channel, will not directly bother each other - the foreign transmissions will just show as increased noise. However, as more and more people and devices start using it, the signal to noise margins get worse and worse and soon you will have connection troubles and reduced range, especially in urban areas. Which you can of course circumvent by wiring the antennae close to each other 😕

How fortunate to be in a position to be able to do this.

The BV7-40 mk IV without the Blu-Ray also have a network socket.
