Why are some people on the sub-forums but not on the main forum?

Confuses me that there is a lot of discussion in some of the sub-forums - particularly in other languages. Shouldn't we encourage (like other public forums) people to discuss, in English, on the primary 'General Forum'?

What about freedom of speech, cultural and language diversity, or link ?

Are you trying to wind me up here?

Noooop!!!

I'm so sorry for your brand new BV7mk4 too.....

 

All I was trying to do was get some more user-input in to the General Forum. In fairness, even the key mods tend to post in the sub-forums ;)

Yes, I'm angry with a lot of things B&O at the moment, particularly the BV7-40. Crashed six times last night. I was hoping I could try and resolve the problem, but am completely out of ideas :(

you're not having good luck there> what are you going to do about this, i'm so horrified to read about this issue....

While I will agree that the product line is globalizing over time, and one day the North American forum may be relegated to answering questions strictly concerning older equipment, we aren't there yet.  At the moment, even the intentionally global BeoSystem 3 chassis is listed as having 2 distinctly different socket panels available as spare parts (EU and US/JPN for the obsessive).

Some may recall not too long ago the "spirited" discussion of the BV-7 with, oh say myself and Trip, staunchly defending the qualities of a TV which we had for half a year or more before it debuted in the EU, while it turns out that the criticism was aimed at a BV-7 that we over 'there' will never see.  If opinion forums can so often work at cross purposes, then I think that support forums ought to remain sequestered from one another for now.  We may not have done a lot of Avants, but the BeoSystem 1 was a prety good seller, and there are a LOT of BeoCom 6000 MK1's and BeoCom 1's out there...and our BeoCom 3 wasn't like yours either.

Perhaps that's the solution for moxxey's concern...at least for the Anglosphere...make the NA forum a support forum for Video and Telephones as well as service issues, and ask that all other threads appear in the General Forum.

 

What say?

Unfortunately B&O tech want to run some tests before they'll do anything. First test, swap out the Sky box (I don't that's the problem), second test, dealer pick-up and test with their Sky box. That's now happening Thursday.
