Hi Shaun

Well, I think your dealer has to talk with his technicians. In our store, I do the updates for our customers. I think every store has to have someone to do it.

Regards

 

Thanks for your answer :-)

 

But am i right, that it is only the dvb hd modul, that you can update with a usb key?

And not the sw off the tv.?

You are right. With the USB Key you can only update the DVB-HD. You need a laptop and a special cable to update the TV.

 

Thanks a lot mate ;-)

ill contact my dealer tomorrow :-)

Unplugging from main.

mooxxey have you solved the sound delay from your TV in your linkroom yet?

Beolab, no that is still a problem, even with the latest 7.05 sw. Indeed, the problems I have now, include:

1) Intermittent crashing BV7-40 MKIV as a result of a three-way Sky HD<>BV8<>BV7 setup. Seems to cause the BV7 to crash.

2) Delayed audio on the BV8 (which didn't ever happen in the same setup, using the BV7-40 MKIII)

3) Degraded picture quality - as someone else mentioned - after sw 7.05 was installed

Luckily my dealer has asked B&O to replace the new BV7-40 MKIV with a brand new model, hoping that may fix the issues. I doubt it, but they have to try it regardless!

I must say, I do admire B&O's steely resolve! If, as is claimed, they follow these Fora, I'm impressed that they can read about your (and others, most having shelled out up to £10K), continuing issues with their top-of-the range LCD TV, for well over a year now and still resist issuing any sort of official statement/timing plan/apology for their shoddy, under-developed and under-tested product.

Unless, of course, it's because there is simply no excuse!
