No idea about the empty shell. I do know that my son bought the motor and was able to fit it to his hinge. The approved B& O seller on this site has a motor for sale. Why don’t you ask them?

Yes, on the similar BV11-40 the hinge motor is a simple plug-in to add to the hinge.

Did you resolve this? You need the separate hinge motor that plugs direct to the TV after locating it in position.

As far as the fret cover is concerned I would remove the fret from the TV and then paint it with fabric dye. You will never get a good fit by applying new fabric in my opinion.

From archive… my BV11 40 hinge.

Hi Tony,

If the BV10 is similar to my old Mk1 BV11 with built in sat decoder you just connect your sat dish lnb cable to the sat input socket (which should be present if you have the built in sat module). The tv then does the search/ tuning from your chosen satellite. From recollection the sat module can also control a motorised dish.

(Sadly my Mk1 panel failed, and my replacement Mk3 BV11  lacked the excellent sat/recording modules).

I had this many years ago with a 1203. The tone arm position and lift is controlled by a number of shaped sliding brass plates under the centre of the turntable. In my case the very tip of one of the plates had been bent and was causing premature arm return. Perhaps sticking plates needing lubrication can have the same effect.

My Mk 1 had a headphone connection but no WISA. Unfortunately the tv panel failed last year, and replacements are no longer available.

I replaced the Mk1  TV with an ex hotel Mk3. The magnetic fret is a neater and tighter fit to the tv than the Mk 1 clip-on fret. Difficult to compare, but the Mk3 seemed to be lighter in weight than the Mk1 (but still very heavy!)

Re 3.

The picture automatically mutes after about 30 seconds when playing radio or Net Radio. A green light shows top right to remind you of the playing status.

Mine gives an error message on first start up. Then everything is OK after selecting a station.

Just to conclude this thread, my relative took his TV back to the dealer who succeeded in reinstalling the software resulting in the reappearance of NetRadio. (A software upgrade via USB did not to work.)

I have an ex hotel mk3 BV11 40, bought as a replacement for my mk 1 after a panel failure.

A relative bought a similar model from the same dealer.

In my case Freeview radio is controlled by the radio button after first using Freeview TV. If pressing radio straight from standby, NetRadio comes on. In the case of my relatives apparently identical TV there was no NetRadio, and attempts to update the software by usb stick supplied by the dealer failed. Eventually a solution with NetRadio was achieved by taking  the whole TV to the dealer who was able to upgrade the software.
By chance, the same approved- used dealer now sponsors/ advertises here on Beoworld.

I am astonished at how many variations of the Beoremote One seem to exist, having compared my own with a relatives. If the remote is dead you may need a battery change via a paper clip or pin in the hole in the underside.

Graham

[vikinguk]

The arm position and operation is governed by a number of sliding brass plates under the centre of the turntable. If a plate has been damaged or bent it will give rise to the wrong positioning of the arm or incorrect lifting or dropping of the cartridge/ stylus.

Graham

Edit: or possibly the plates have been removed and then reassembled incorrectly.

[vikinguk]

Thanks Lee & Keith for keeping the site running all these years. Let’s hope Multicare can provide future success.

Hi MM,

Yes he’s on the internet. The auto updating says the software is up to date, but there is no sign of NetRadio. This made me wonder whether B&O were actually still broadcasting the updating software. My own TV software says it’s up to date, but the software version is dated 2017.

I had to close a very modest website because of hosting costs. (No forum). No sooner had I done this that people came out of the woodwork who had been using the site  as a free resource, and were really put out about the loss of the site.

It’s just reality. If Lee and Keith cannot sell Beoworld as a going concern then what next? A free transfer to B&O or to a U.K. B&O franchise?

Graham

[vikinguk]

Just a word of warning! My BV11 has just failed. B&O official repairer has diagnosed (by telephone and following his instructions) that the panel has failed. They were specifically made for B&O and replacements are no longer available.

BV11 was a fantastic tv but apparently now (in my case) beyond repair.

[vikinguk]

Apparently replacement panels are no longer available. : (

[vikinguk]

Just spotted this thread after posting on my BV11 with similar problems.

What happened to the B&O idea of the dealerships having suitcases of modules to effect quick diagnosis and repair?

The risk is that the BV10’s and BV11’s have lcd screens reaching the end of their useful lives, and an expensive module swap or repair may not extend the life of the TV very much.

Graham

[vikinguk]

Was this resolved? Just out of interest we have an Apple TV connected to a BV5 via an hdmi Scart converter, and a second ATV connected to a BV11. The BV11 ATV remains blank after selection, with the menu only appearing after using the back button.
