    Nightmare!!

    Well i proudly shot of down to London today to pick up my Beovision 26 HD ready, and ended up getting home and finding out it was a Beocentre 23(with DAB module but no HDMI slot).

    After you finish laughing here's a question. It does have a DVI connection at the back, can i connect this to SKY HD and watch the appropriate signal? I am aware i would need to run the audio independently. Please helpUnsure

    A Beovision 10-40 in black and red fret on order, Beo4, Beo6, many A8's, a pair of white and yellow Form 2's, Beocom 4, 28 inch Avant RF DVD, Apple TV and a wife that loves this stuff as much as i do!

    DVI is only for picture... So... You have to run the audio independently...

    Yes, you can use the DVI for the HD signal and do the Audio seperately.  However, having a DVI socket doesn't always mean there's something actually behind it.  Go into the DTV settings and see if it gives you the option of DVI-I...

    PS - I do hope you knocked the seller down on price !!

    You can go into the setup menu and change those you know!  Just highlight them, then scroll through the options.

    In fact, try STB - preferably STB(DTV) if it gives the option.

    Re: Nightmare!!

    Keep in mind - early models of the 6-23/26 were NOT HD READY!

    Without an upgrade with the HD-ready kit - only non HDCP (non copy protected) video content,
    e.g pictures from your computer can be displayed - but NOTHING DELIVERED by a  BluDisc or a HD-Cable/Sat receiver ...

    Add "PC" to your Beo4 "LIST" and try to access the DVI-Input - it should be an DVI-Integrated input and 
    should handle VGA as well as DVI signals. 

    4 digit Type# or the Ser# of your TV would help  ...
