[quote user="The_Beonic_Man"] I saw the BV10 for the first time in my local dealer last week. I've got to be honest, it was disappointing.... [/quote] The reason the BV10 has gone down so well in the B&O world is that the BV7 has simply become too expensive for most people (myself included) to justify the purchase - £10K, effectively

[quote user="KingOfSnake"] I trust other Beoworlders will view this as an infantile, spiteful and vindictive comment.. [/quote] Ian, I've bought and sold through yourself and Lee and would recommend both. In fact, you've always offered me exellent deals on B&O kit that have exceeded expectations. But....I don't respect this

[quote user="Dixon Langeman"] I have some pictures but can't figure out how to post them! The blu ray load time is OK but not as fast as a Sony PS3 or Panasonic BD80. I don't notice the loading noise that I hear on the BV7-40 which is an improvement. [/quote] Are you sure that's not a store thing? ie. the BV7-40 MKIV's drive

[quote user="Bv7Mk3"] Please tell us more.... Can you take a pic? and how long does it take to load a blueray disc? [/quote] The Blu-ray DVD mechanism in the 55" is no different from the 40" which you can view at your local dealer :)

[quote user="Flappo The Grate"] so when's freeview going hd ? maybe another hdmi would be useful.. [/quote] Is it 2010? See: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/digitaltv/news/a187077/bbc-unveils-freeview-hd-rollout-timetable.html

[quote user="ed7"] How much is it retailed in the uk?? ££££???? [/quote] £15,500 ! You read that right :) DVB-HD is for Freeview, not Sky.

[quote user="Flappo The Grate"] sky hd connection already built in... [/quote] Built-in Sky connection? Where?

[quote user="Bv7Mk3"] Can someone please tell me how many useable Hdmi Sockets are on the back of the 7-55 which are free to use! Thanks. [/quote] It's the same socket structure as the BV7-40 MKIV...

[quote user="The_Beonic_Man"] All is well with the Mark IV 7-40 I trust? Any thoughts about trading anything in? You have the 8-40 already in your kitchen I believe, so is the 10-40 something you will consider anywhere or not? [/quote] I do like the BV10-40, like it a lot. However, I don't think it's an 'upgrade' for my BV7

[quote user="Peter2"] Recently had my BS3/BV4 updated to 7.05, and the engineer suggested that the current thinking was that the HDCP crashing issues may be related to the new programme guide on Sky HD! [/quote] You could be right....as my crashing started around May, just when the new Sky HD guide was introduced! But, why does it only affect
