    Any news on a DVB-HD & Full-HD panel version of the BV7-32" (a Mk V?)

    I was getting really tempted at a shop demo version of the 7-32" today (with x% off!) , but I didn't realise that it only had DVB-T and wasn't capable of decoding DVB HD signals. Since thats heading the to be the norm (okay - its a way away - but we do have a few HD channels on digital terrestrial here in Aus) it would be a shame to get a TV that couldn't do that "out of the box"

    Looking at http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/p/22391/167491.aspx it mentions of a possible May 09 release for an update to the BV7-32" that will give it :

     

    1. Full HD panel
    2. DVB-HD
    3. Native HDMI (ie no need for an expander)

    Anyone have any news on whether the above link was correct ? And whether the May09 timeline was realistic.

    I did look at the 40" as it has all the bits that i'd like - but its just too darn big for our place ...

    The BV7 32 will not have a full HD panel, B&O have stated that it is not going to be necessary.  However there will be a HD-DVB tuner released this year, expected to be around May time and a new chassis incorporating 2 x HDMI sockets.

    Full HD is only necessary if you use panels with 40" and above.

    I have compared different TV's in this category and you don't see any difference between FullHD and HDready if the TV has a good scaler.

    normal TV even looks better on the HDready panels because you don't have to scale so much.

    You don't have to scale so much?

    That depens on what HD channel you are watchting.

    There are several channels broadcasting in 1080i  in Europe.

    I'm definitely happy to get the BV7-32 as long as it also has  DVB-HD & HDMI and from what I saw the HD (720) screen will suffice (didn't get to look at Blu-Ray comparison yet).

    Is the May '09  BV7-32 model the one that also gets the Blu-Ray (or the upgradeable to Blu-Ray option) ?

    Thanks for helping me decide ... 

    just .... got ... to ... wait ....untill ........May...

    The 32" will not get the blu-ray option.

    Oh well - its not like Blu-Ray is a necessity internally - just hoping I could get a bit more added value ... i'll likely pair it up with one of the Panasonic Blu-Ray recorder & HDD.

    I just need to start thinking if there's a market for a 12 year old Avant (tube is only 18 months old). No space in the house - guess its back to good ol' ebay or trying for a trade in - but i think thats flogging a dead horse (although B&O Aus did have a trade in a CRT deal at the end of last year).

    Just wondering if B&O will cater for small market in Hong Kong, we are using DMB-T

    Could this module be retrofitted to older version BV7?
