Does anybody know if the new SW 4.2 has been released yet?

I'm sure Beolab or The Stig will be the first to know, based on past experience. If you need to ask again, just add a query to your previous thread/question.

I will inform on the release date on the same day trust me!;)

B&o are going to do a 25p update instead of 24p in the new firmware 4.2.  Because the existing panel can only handle 50Hz pal/60Hz ntsc.  So the new firmware are going do duplicate the 25p with x2 = 50Hz for a more smooth and seamless picture in pans and fast moving objects to maintain the focus and resolution. So you are only going to miss 2 fps (frames per second) witch is impossible fore the eye and the brain to see..

A second possible thing they are considering is to take the 24p incoming signal and then interpolate it with 4= 96Hz and then divide it with two = 48Hz.. (2 frames missing also) 

I think this update are going to be very good!... Not only when you are going to watch Blu-ray HD 24p material but also on DVD and DVB broadcasted movies.

Sounds very promissing!

Any idea when it's supposed to be released / how long we have to wait?

As i have said before the release date was set to late April and early may but you know B&o with releases and dates..

I think they wants to do it right this time so i can wait for a good programmed firmware update instead of a bad one.. But i hope during this month, but don´t take this for granted.. I spooked to Peter _____ ho is the Nordic Scandinavian Zone manager at B&o and he said that it will be released very soon...

I will inform you if i hear something... 

Thank you guys. I hope it will be a "bugg-free" software.
