Out of date so quick
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 8, 2012 09:40The question of ducks on the wall is quite important. Are they flying from left to right, or from right to left? Are they flying up, or down? Only when these vital details are known can a final judgement be made on the c…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 5, 2012 05:01My wife has agreed that we can get a new BV 7-40 (BluRay + 3D) to replace a six-year old 7-40 Mk II, but has stipulated that she does not want to hear any comments from me about " if only we had waited a bit longer the T…
New Danish Gov.

BV 7-40 - your opinion and experience
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 1, 2011 04:54Just a brief note before things get too gloomy about the HD-ready Mk II. The picture on mine was not very good until I changed my Sky box to one of the 1Tb type. According to various notes, this box has a 165 MHz pixel c…
Screen goes yellow/red after 30-60 minutes
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 28, 2011 04:29I have found why the screen changes, and as the reason may affect other Boeworld members, I am detailing the reason. My 7-40 Mk II has the usual DVi-D adaptor, as will any tv which only has a DVI input. This adaptor, a D…
Screen goes yellow/red after 30-60 minutes
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 23, 2011 13:44I have just set-up a Sky Amstrad 1Tb box to my BV 7-40 Mk II. I have connected it via AV3 using DV-1 and SCART. Unfortunately this box is not in the B&O list, so I have used the Thompson Sky HD. The automatic standby is …
Sky HD 1TB box problem with IR controller
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 21, 2011 09:50I am also having problems with this 1TB box. My BV7-40 mkII had no problem with the IR when using the SKY HD+ box, but this new one does not appear to respond to the IR. My local B&O dealer admits that he does not know t…
Sky + (large capacity) HD box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 16, 2011 04:45Many thanks for all your helpful replies. The approved way forward is to install a large capacity Sky HD box now, followed by the new BV 7-40 with LED. This should be available before November this year, when the EU regu…
Sky + (large capacity) HD box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 14, 2011 10:35Yes, Kokomo, all the Sky boxes were replaced by Sky because they were faulty. On looking at some other sites, there are claims that Sky's high capacity box is a "premium" product. Can anyone confirm this? Villarsch
Sky + (large capacity) HD box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 14, 2011 09:51Thank you, Kokomo for your advice. Apparently the SCART needs to be connected on these older 7-40s in order to have sound. Also, thank you Paul. Although the large capacity box is an Amstrad, I am still hoping that anyon…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 14, 2011 05:19My apologises if this topic has already been covered, but I would appreciate any advice on the benefits (or otherwise) of switching to a large capacity (1TB) Sky HD box. At present I am on my seventh Sky HD box which att…
LX2500 and a freeview box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 3, 2011 04:59Many thanks to david707 and mhw. Our much-loved LX2500 can now show numerous digital channels. This confirms a) that Beoworlders are very helpful and b) that a B&O tv bought in 1987 ( albeit with a new tube 10 years ago)…
LX2500 and a freeview box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 2, 2011 18:14I have got V.Aux shown on the Beo4, and pressing Go lights the two "stereo" sound lights, but unfortunately there is no response from the Eco Zapbox. Perhaps a further command is required? Villarsch
LX2500 and a freeview box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 2, 2011 13:37I have got the Beo4 to show AV., but it does not have any effect on the tv. Should I try something else?
LX2500 and a freeview box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 2, 2011 12:24I think that the remote is a Beo4. Incidentally, I get very good digital tv on my computer, which uses the same aerial. Villarsch
LX2500 and a freeview box
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 2, 2011 11:46Due to the change to digital tv I have had to buy a Eco Zapbox and connect it to my LX2500. Unfortunately, although the green power light is on in the Zapbox, the box does not search or indeed do anything. I do not have …

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 10, 2010 05:46Peter, Many thanks for your reply. I have put the Sky SCART control to "on", but as yet the Beo4 will not work the Sky box. I'll have to get tge B&O expert to sort it out. As regards activating the HDMI, I have just view…
