Simply amazing. It seems the Danes are developing their own kind of dvb-t named dvb-d. With "d" not for danish, but for delayed. BV8 should have been dvb-t ready from the start, this isn´t even funny anymore. How long is BV8 on the market now...?

this is the kind of thing that makes me laugh when people call bno 'cutting edge'

they even asked me in an on line questionnaire if i considered them to be technologically at the forefront

tbh this is not only inexcusable on such an expensive tv but in 2009 will probably be illegal when the analogue stations start being turned off 

The analogue switch off in the UK actually started in Oct 2007 - there won't be many buyers of BV8's in Whitehaven!

It's beyond astonishing, when you can buy a self contained DVB-T Tuner in a scart plug housing, that a company with the supposed abilities of B&O are "having difficulties" introducing what is basically an off the self chipset into it's product.

Rumour has it they're planning to introduce Teletext next!

Well considering B&O had previously moved from the logical two way remote to one way only, it's a good job the Beo5 is around as shouldn't you be able to compose xml files to control that scart socket thingo? So rather than pay the $xxxxx price tag to retrofit or buy a set with it on, you could just buy the scart socket, a Beo5 and probably have change left 😁

See there is a bright side to waiting for B&O to adopt technology 😕

I also hope they give us firmware update for our TVs so that we can use DVB-T on the TV button leaving DTV free for another source.

p.

Whitehaven!

i know it sounds ridiculous but from what i've gleaned the dvb-t retrofit for my avant doesn't even have that !

no , no support for digital text

 you couldn't make things like this up !! BLOCKED SCRIPTinsertSmiley('😂');

as much as I would like, but seriously doubt - wouldn't it be nice if the module was delayed as they were making it a freesat + DVBT module?!

With free HD broadcasts becoming more popular and B&O wanting to appear more cutting edge, would this not be a sensible (and relative cheap - aren't panasonic one of B&O's manufacturing partners) move for what should be a popular TV?
