Thank you again Guy, shame the module I have does indeed seem to be too old for Freeview HD action here in the UK. Part of the reason for the engineer call-out was to have the BV updated with the latest PUC codes – the dealer told me there is a code set for my Huawei Freeview box, which is great.
Taking your advice I’ve put a bid on a Humax PVR on a certain well known online auction website.
Would you (or anyone else reading this) think it possible to have my (old) Beovision 6 refreshed with new PUC codes also? This is in my kitchen, it’s a lovely wall mounted unit but of course has to be scart based due to HDCP limitations. But it would be nice if I could hide the Youview box behind that and control it via PUC.

Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberThanks Guy,
I’m familiar with the menu you mention, and the analogue TV tuner is indeed switched off. DVB is the only tuner activated (I have the Firestick programmed to the TV button on the Beo4) and is accessed via the DTV button on the Beo4.
Hopefully the engineer will have all the answers. The dealer (Tunbridge Wells, Kent) was wondering if a previous owner had changed the module at some point but not been able to flash the BV with the correct software.
I hope all will be revealed.A final curiosity – I was wondering if the fact that my DVB module is a mark1 variant might hinder its ability to capture Freeview HD. I read in another post from Beoworld that FreesatHD was once the preferred tuner module.
Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberI have the aerial connected to the ‘middle’ socket.
I just had a quick look at the manual and I think that’s the correct one, so your problem must be elsewhere. Do you have another TV that you could connect temporarily to check the rest of the antenna path? Also, do you have the manual so that you can check that you are using the correct tuning method for the digital (rather than analogue) tuner? They are different menus.
I have another tv in the house which is non-B&O and that tunes to and receives HD chanels without issue. My Huawei Youview box also tunes perfectly without issue.
The service menu for the TV Tuner is as follows:
Tuner system B/G on
L on
M off
D/K on
I onAFC on
Low tun range 45
High tun range 864
Lower band limit 158
Upper band limit 443
VHF-1 constant 1
VHF-2 constant 2
UHF constant 4
Tuner takeover 14
Japan C39-C63 Off
CN sound Off
KR sound Off
Modulator system I
GR ref 4
GR iterat inte 0
GR iterat inte 7So I’ve no idea what’s what in here, other than the ranges and limits might be preventing HD channels from being picked up?
Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberI updated my BV10-32 from 0.1.8.9 to 0.1.9.9 shortly after I bought it, but didn’t notice any improvements/changes. I vaguely remember seeing a thread somewhere about what the improvements were supposed to be, but can’t find it any more. I have no problem receiving HD programmes via terrestrial. Are you sure that the antenna is connected to the DVB-HD input, rather than the old analogue one?
The aerial is connected to the correct input. Just scanned again and no HD channels returned.
Unusually during tuning the screen shows provision to count up how many tv channels and how many radio channels have been located. This has always remained at zero for my BV throughout the tuning process.
Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberHello Guy,
Thanks for coming back to me.
A fair comment about connection – I have the aerial connected to the ‘middle’ socket. (Imagine the 3 aerial sockets in the diagonal line from inside to outside.)I believe the one furthest in is for the analogue tv tuner, the middle one for terrestrial or cable and the one on the outside for satellite.
Dont tell me I’ve messed that up!! LOL! I’ll go an check.

Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberHi,
Did yu have any luck with your repair? I was wondering, if you were using the BM5500 to test the sound of the components perhaps it’s something to do with the CD input on the BM? Always worthwhile to try different sockets to rule out something unexpected.

Location: Kent, UKGOLD Member@Evan Your ‘cubical’ at work looks utterly baffling! A full-on hifi in an office cubical? How can that even be?!?! (Looks for big smiling emoji)
A most stunning office set-up all the same, bravo!
Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberThose chairs are superb!
Location: Kent, UKGOLD Member<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi,</p>
When you say ‘all inputs’ do you mean the DIN type sockets for connection of a Phono and/or Tape2? These are stereo inputs – much the same as with almost all other Beosystems of the time.Julian
Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberWowzer! Fabulous set of microphones!
Location: Kent, UKGOLD MemberThis is a reply which I shall post and then look for the edit option.
