soundproof: To end on a positive note: do have your cable/satellite signal checked. Often you can do this yourself, by accessing the STB setup menu. If it's borderline, see if you can get it fixed. It was, literally, of huge significance to me -- I even suspect that some of those grumbling about the BV8 image quality have sub-par signals. On mine

The Beonic Man: To be fair to you Chris, and to be fair to the TV, you are right with what you say. I have seen HD content from Channel 4 on it and some of the footage is very good I agree. The SD footage is awful. I really think it has a long way to go though and I couldn't advise someone to pay BV7 money for the TV you get because I really don't

The Beonic Man: but let me give you advance warning that the BV7 does not produce a great picture. I would say its OK and that's it. Simon, this is so wrong. Please make sure you advise correctly. With *SD* you receive an 'OK' picture. With upscaled SD, you receive an excellent picture. With programmes filmed in HD (football on Sky Sports

The Beonic Man: This is a topic close to my heart. Myself and 355f have had many discussions around this subject and I must reiterate that plasma is definitely the way to go. Visit a specialist and see for yourself. Sorry Simon, I disagree slightly. It depends on the source. Some HD programmes through the BV7-40 MKIII are outstanding and even leave

Ehlerz: www.beovision7.dk No prices though but they ask you to visit a store to hear about the new campaign. I am going tomorrow... :-) Does the website imply you have to buy he BV7, BC6 and Beo5 as a package to get the 'discount'?

sinuhe: Will it still be an add-on (although compulsory) module or is it going to be the only tuner in BV7 in GB? No, the analogue tuner is still in there. DVB-T is just included as 'standard' in the UK (the BV7-40 already includes it as standard, since the launch). DVB-T is assigned to DTV, analogue to TV. I have my external Sky HD box assigned

9 LEE: 'Hooray' i hear you say. Well, maybe not quite. Yes, it will be compulsory - and you will be charged £400 for it, taking the average retail price from £6,550 to £6,950. Gulp. Yes, my BV7-40 MKIII shipped with the Freeview module as default and, yes, this is now factored in to the price of the TV in the UK. Isn't

jonnyb: I haven't seen your previous posts about your TV - I'm so very sorry What's with the sarcasm about the Sony TV - at least it does 24p! In my initial response, I wanted to helpfully explain about the reason for the judder you were seeing on your technically incapable B&O but I'm quite happy to let you wallow in your ignorance

jonnyb: So, er, what TV do you own? It's hard to have a discussion when you keep ignoring my main points... Oh come on - I talk daily about my BV7-40 MKIII. Let's drop the 24fps issues. Besides, you use a Sony LCD...

jonnyb: So what? It's not the codec that ultimately matters - it's the bitrate. The higher the bitrate the less efficient the compression has to be anyway - and bluray will win out over low-bitrate TV tranmission any day What TV do you own? The codec very much matters. MPEG-2 creates a fair amount of artifacts when scaled up. Besides, Sky HD
