Software 5.08 for BV7MK3

17 replies

The reason we had to upgrade in the first place was due to the 'white flash' problem when watching 1080p Blu-ray movies or Playstation 3 games. That was fixed in 4.24 if I can remember correctly.

Problem is that 4.24 then brought issues with the TV switching off for no reason. sw 5.00 fixed this, but then brought the other problem of a link room TV showing HDCP warnings without the 'master' being on at the same time. sw 5.08 apparently fixes that problem.

I heard from my dealer that they won't upgrade my TV and that they'll organise for a B&O engineer to visit!

If you do no have the initial white flash issues, I wouldn't bother upgrading! None of the software upgrades bring anything compelling, apart from new issues (and fixes).

You do get the new menu's which are alot nicer and do not cover the whole screen with 5.02.

Also im sure we had a 24p update in there for watching blueray movies

Correct, although the difference was negliable. I'm going to upgrade to the MKIV with internal Blu-ray (as long as it can decode the audio) in May. I think this will be everything the MKIII should have been.

 

Hi i have been following this link and looks like this will solve my problems as well just out of intrest are you using a scart as well as hdmi and if no scart do you have a link B&O tv as i understand this is why you need a scart to control tv in the link room

Thanks

hi there paul sorry my set up is 1 room only

i know that if you use the link system you need scart as that is how the AV is broadcast, this shoudl fix the issue with link if you are getting problems with a link TV.

Also there is a different puc table entry for SHK HD now
