My my Bieele. 

You must be some strong person to have not jump into the LCD/Plasma bandwagon especially since almost everyone is promoting them.  

I've had exactly the same about 3 years ago. First the lines (my background was red when this happened) then the black with white dot. This happened about 4 or 5 times, the last time the ficture didn't come back. This was all within a week or 2.  I changed the tube which cost about € 900 at the time including everything. I watched the Avant for about another year and than traded it in for a BV7-40. Till today I'm very happy with that decision.

Hi Bieele,

I also traded in my RF Avant in February for a BV 7-40 MK III ans I never regret it. Ziggo provided me digital signal (analoge is not good) and the picturequality is suberb!

In my opinion the picture quality of the BV 7 is as good as the avant. Also watching DVD is suberb.Maybe it would not hurt tot talk to your dealer. Could it be we have the same dealer (the one which B&O announced as the best dealer from Holland)?

Regards,

Rob

Hello Rob,

Yes, it sounds like it is the same dealer! Very happy with that dealer actually; in my opinion they deserved the price.

I hope to have time available tomorrow to pay him a visit; we do not live very close to the dealer but have an appointment this week near that dealer. As I stated in my reply to "Hamburg" I would be happy with a 32" telly; but also "need" a good tv as a center of my home cinema.
