Quick answer: No

The Sky HD box needs to be connected with both HDMI and scart cables to the Avant (or in my case BS3). When used 'locally' the HDMI connection is used, when watched in a link room, the signal from the scart is used.

its still a better picture (if its from a HD program) than normal sky, since its transmitted with a higher bandwidth to the sky box, but the final picture is SD.

I suggest having the sky hd box installed directly in your link room if this tv is hd ready and leave the existing sky box with your avant. Most Sky dish's can support 2 stb's each with sky plus. You my need a multi room subscription to do this though.

Hello Peter,

The Sky HD upgrade is because I'm purchasing a BV7 for a link room so I thought I could replace the Sky+ box which is on the back of the Avant in the main room and link it to the BV7.

So I need to keep my Sky+ box on the back of the Avant and buy a SKY HD box for the room with the BV7?

He suggested using link command, Of course if money was no object I would replace the Avant with a BV9 and have HD in both rooms but I like my Avant DVD.

I find that whenever I start swopping rooms around or buying new B&o equipment it always gets very expensive! But we all love our B&O.

So to sum things up I've been persueded to buy the latest 32" BV7 for the kids lounge beacuse the 2005 model is a bit gloomy and dark.The kids lounge will have Sky HD because the Avant isn't HD ready so the Sky+ will have to do for the main room.

Does anybody else use Sky multiroom in there B&O set up? If so any problems or things I need to know?
