Toby, The key advantages of upgrading include:- Several parts no longer available to fix Mark I handsets particular the board because the RF chip is no longer made. The DOT button has a high failure rate The menu is much easier to use The CLI works in all situations including providing details of a caller when you are on the phone. The display is in

Why is the Virgin Media box on ? Is it because you don't have it controlled by the STB controller ?

Tim, When you play your DVD on the DVD1 is the Virgin Media box in Standby ? Based on what you have said it sounds like pickup between SCART cables. Are you sure both SCART cables are the screened type ? The fact that you purchased the SCART cables from your B&O dealer does not mean they are teh fully screened version.

Max, This is a difficult problem to logically understand unless your Mark I & Mark II Beo4's have a fault and the same fault.

Craig, To prove if the cable is causing the earth loop, I suggest you leave the SCART cable to the cable modem, but disconnect the cable to the cable company. If the DVD picture is good then you will need a Galvanic Isolator, if you still have the problem then the earth loop is being created somewhere else. At this stage I suggest you just remove the

It sounds like an earth loop problem through the Cable STB. Is your cable STB connected to the cable system via a Galvanic Isolator ? I will answer your next question before you ask it.. What is a Galvanic Isolator ? A Galvanic Isolator allows the cable signal to the STB without the associated ground link to avoid ground loops or other electrical potential
