A good place to start is to have a Set Top Box Controller and you must have the latest software - Ian from morethanAV supplied my dealer with a .pdf showing how the BEO4 buttons relate to the Topfield commands. It is pretty straightforward.

PACE SKY+ is the option you need. A £15 chip and then £60 upwards to do a 5 minute job.

There has to be a compromise - Convert Component Outputs and LR Stereo to RGB Scart, then you can link it.

Ideally you need to assess firstly which component is at fault with a spare beo4 or bl1000 before shelling out - you can buy replacement pcb's with new keypads and then you would have a mk3 remote but they are not cheap! A few screws and a coupleof soldered joints required, you sound overskilled! Perhaps your local dealer will allow you to take

Hi, remember the top digi coax is assigned to DVD and the lower one to SAT. Also remember that you need an analogue feed to the scart, assuming you are using a fully wired scart then this should not be a problem. Instead of using V.TAPE use DVD on the V.TAPE or AV scart sockets and you will at least get stereo - use an optical to coaxial converter and

Would love to know more about this, looks fantastic.

The standard T-Adaptor available from B&O is a poor solution, unless you want to see unsightly wiring at the back of the 8000's. Better still buy, for example a 1m powerlink cable, a T-Adaptor and a female to female adaptor in order to make off the daisy chain connection somewhere less conspicuous.

Hi, the 7-40 with HDMI is 1080p, the native resolution at which mostly, if not all, Playstation 3 discs play. The 7-32 has dvi-i only at 720p/1080i. IMHO 1080p does not make a tremendous difference on a 32" screen and the 7-32's are more than capable of displaying images excellently. However if you are considering other brands then they will

I usually adopt the line taken that product 'upgrades' like this are just marketing ploys - but on this occasion admit that the Mark II's sound warmer and more rounded a speaker than the Mark I's due to better bass - to reiterate use with a sub and go for the best value pair you are able to, whether Mark I or II!!!

I can tell you that our own retail operations pose the greatest threat to our longevity. People expect expensive stuff when they go into a store. They don't expect dirty floors and distracted associates. Hmmmm interesting - B&O to my mind was historically about (family) businesses with enthusiasts for employees, thrilled at working and learning
