My BV7-40 has never created a proper link-room connection since I had the MKIV installed. The link-room TV results in a picture that is so poor it's unwatchable. However, it's not the link-room TV as the internal modulator will display an analogue signal. It's only via link-rom.

Now I'm getting red and different coloured lines all over the BV7-40 MKIV screen. I'll take a photo later. These lines appear whatever the source input :(

Anyone heard of anything similar?

Ok, here's an pictorial example. Click image for a bigger version:

And another:

I can't believe that you are patiently waiting for a fix for your lemon. I would have excercised my rights as a consumer and  returned the TV for a refund long before now.

Hi moxxey very nice set-up you got there ,shame about your tv picture .

Apart from where another dealer ripped something off the skirting board, leaving half the paintwork missing I'll need to sort that out soon.

I have no idea what's causing these red lines and, yes, it's a lemon. However, if your dealer doesn't want to replace or refund, there's little you can do accept keep on pushing or go down the legal route, which opens a whole can of worms.

I had similar issue with the avant years ago,the dealer refused to fix my tv ,i contacted main office b&o they could not be more helpful the sent an engineer from another dealer problem sorted

I was just talking generically (ie. person above stating 'refund under consumer rights' which is only if the shop agrees ;) - I'll speak with my dealer tomorrow. No idea about the solution for this, but I'm sure they'll fix it.

Best of luck Chris. I feel sure the store will do their best to help you get everything sorted.
