I replied to this with my experiences, but the post went to be moderated. Shame really. I don't understand what key words the moderators use to check through posts. BTW the card can only be used with B&O and your relationship is with the credit provider (HFS, I think) and not with B&O.

Although this is of no help to anyone, I've had absolutely no further problems with my BV7-40 MKIII software, since being upgraded to sw 5.08. Mind you, it took over a year to get it right!

I used the Virtuoso card and I'm not going to use it again. I'm a big believer that you should either save up for what you want or attempt to pay in full. The problem with anything like the Virtuoso is that you only get the interest free for a period of time and then it reverts to a 29.9% loan (APR may have changed) if you don't manage to

Not sure why people go down the ATV route, which is probably why it hasn't been popular. The Mac Mini is a far better option.

[quote user="Alex"] I have been told that this is untrue and that the Blu-Ray module will be able to play standard DVDs. [/quote] Of course it will. It doesn't even need an answer. It's this kind of stuff that's got me very disillusioned with this board recently. Bizarre. Blu-ray players will play standard definition discs. Indeed

No-one knows. I had a conversation with B&O UK this morning and they do not even have a shipping date yet (although it's pencilled in for late April/May) and it can't be ordered from a UK dealer. I'm keen to find out too. I also want to upgrade to the MKIV from the MKIII.

[quote user="Esh"] Just took delivery of the Beovision 7-40 with Blu-Ray...can't wait to try out all these movies from Woolies!
