Hi Weebyx

 

Could you tell me how you can control the vista media centre with beo4/5.  I'm building a movie server, which will use vista media centre, and would like to control it with my Beo4, I did not think it was possible to do this. look forward to your reply

 Version 5.00 Build 431. Release date 24-11-2008

i shall be calling my dealer today but thats what i did with 4.24 and look where that got me.

I hope i wont be posting on a thread called " Re: BV7 40 MKIII / SW 5.00 problem" any time soon

can someone who has access to the service tool attach the list of Fixes as soon as they have download it please.

 

These are the new features

Does anyone know that the all-important 'crash to off' issue is fixed? I'm going to wait for some feedback before asking my dealer to install sw 5. I don't think they'll take too kindly to having to install more sw in the future.

Well, i haven't had a crash with 4.95 since the 15'th, so i believe this feature is resolved.

At last, new software 5.0 is at Service Tool Mk2

Roger:

These are the new features

	·	Extended “sense” – senses changes on all video signals from peripheral units at the same time, not just one at the time.

 

What is the benefit of extended sense, what does it do?

It is fixed.

But there is coming a SW 5.1 late this week or early next week..

It should fix something with projectors i have heard..

 The main fix for the BV7-40MKIII,BV9 is SW 5.0 and it is available now..

BV7 mk3 udated today to software 5.0. No white flashes watching a movie on a 1080p source, so it begins fine. I will report if any issue.

can you please explain i have been told there is a "war and peace" document explaining how to install the update and register each HDMI sourse once at a time and turnign off and on the TV is this correct and will this have to be done every time i add a new device

Do you have a copy of the document?

If I understood you well (english is not my first language and you don't help me not using dots and commas), is better to update your system step by step. There are some modules that must be update. I do it unplugging the TV after each update for more than 45 seconds. You have to start updating H8, and then, you can follow updating each module, but, as I said before, unplugging the TV after each update.

I don't unplug the TV after add a new device, even if it is connected via HDMI.

I hope it helps.

This is what you are searching for...:

 

Update software to H8 SW 5.00.

IMPORTANT!
After updating the software, you must enter the CONNECTION menu and go through the "standby options"
for all connected set-top boxes to determine which setting suits the box best (see above).
When settings are made for all set-top boxes, leave the television on (the source must be TV, even if there
is no signal) and switch all connected set-top boxes on and then off one by one. This teaches the television
how the video signal changes with each box.

Hmm, this i guess, is only for SCART connected boxes, since HDMI doesn't have any way of knowing if the box is on or off ?

But what do they mean by switch on-off, is this via the STB of via the box with the original remote ?

P.S i have never had any problems with SCART stb-boxes, only HDMI, so i guess this is'nt for me?

Ok, my BV7-40 MKIII was upgraded to sw 5.00a this afternoon. All seems fine so far. I'll report back on the crash-to-off later in the week (that's the number one fix for this sw). I expect it's fixed though.

This is a new feature for set top boxes.. When updating the TV with sw5.0 the TV most learn to sense the specific On and Off signals from the box connected via the HDMI input.

  

Major problem: I'm constantly getting a Sky warning that 'this display does not support HDCP' after the new sw update. Screen goes blue with the warning.

WTF? This keeps happening every 2 minutes. I've tried turning off the Sky box, shutting down at the mains and everything? Any ideas?

just a thought what resolution do you have the sky box set to ???? they must have tested this in house and beta testers woudl have noticed

Not sure exactly what the issue is here, but as a quick-fix/workaround to get it working in the meantime, I would connect the Sky HD box via Component if your box has it. The latest Sky HD boxes don't and I can't remember off the top of my head how old your box is!

It's set to 1080i. Nothing has changed apart from the sw update. I'm doing some more tests. This is really weird - it only seems to happen when the link TV is on. If I just watch via the BV7, it's fine!
