Re: Beovision 8 & STB problem

Thanks JK.

I was actually thinking of the ATSC module in the BS3 that is hardwired to the DTV input. My hope was that it's ability to be disabled in the service menu might be relevant in Claes' situation.

It sounds like it probably is not and as you pointed out the US/EU versions appear to be very different animals.

@ michael: Our BV8 in the US doesnt have the analog tuner. So we can use it actually freely. I have mine setup to work with my Apple TV.

Cheers

Agree Michael, That was pretty difficult to explain to my wife as well.... /Claes

Also, my dealer tells me that they have put a request in to denmark to let the TV button to be freely assigned to any input. May also come in that software update

Claes,

That will NOT be possible until they stop using analogue tuners

Keith,

Does this mean that it will not be possible to update that aspect of the software until there is physically no analog tuner in the box? Or is it until it's no longer being mandated to include an analog tuner ( as is occuring in the US).

I believe with the BS3 ( US version) you can disable (in the service menu) the 2nd tuner module which is hardwired to the DTV input. Is this not possible with the BV8 in Europe?

I hear your pain Claes. I would give anything to have my "Over The Air" HDTV (the ATSC module hardwired to DTV in the US) be assigned to simply "TV". I feel ridiculous every time I have to explain to a guest that they need to ignore the "TV" button when they want to simply watch TV.

Claes,

Whilst using the "mute" key is a workaround, it is not a solution.

The problem you have identified is caused by a software problem and can only be fixed with a "yet to be produced" software update.

You should contact your dealer and get them to report it to B&O who may already be aware of this issue.

Thanks Keith,

I will let my dealer know.

Yes, the sound comes on if I press MUTE twice. Thanks for the tip!

Solves part of the problem, but I don´t really see the logic to why it works that way.

(B&O tells med that TV button is dedicated to the analog aerial in)

If you do NOT use the TV button and press "List the V.AUX then GO, when you get picture but no sound

Press MUTE twice.

Does the sound come on ?

Keith Saunders:

If you have a DVB-T module installed in any Beovision it is assigned to DTV automatically and cannot be changed.

It also means that if you have the DVB-T module installed you can only control ONE STB

Thanks Keith, thats what I thought regarding DTV button.

What´s your call regarding the TV / V-AUX setup I have?

If I press "List" / "V-AUX" / "GO" everything starts up nicely, but then I get no sound

jk1002:

There is DTV and there is also TV? What do you have TV used for? I am using TV for my Apple TV and DTV for my Wii and then DVD for my BC2.

Works like a charm. I dont have the DVB module but don't think that prevents you from using TV if DTV is linked to it.

When I press "TV" the set is just starting up, probably using the antenna inlet (no antenna connected. Only STB).

How can I make the configuration so that I press "TV" and get the "AV1" activated (and the STB)?

Agree, after reading the manual. The installer guy did the works so I was not really involved.

If i touch "DTV" with the current configuration, the internal DVB-T module starts....

Maybe that module makes it impossible to assign e.g. AV-1 to STB (DTV).

I will make another try tonight.

Strange... I would have configured it another way.

If only the STB is connected then I would connect it to AV1 -> STB (DTV)

That way you can start your STB by simply pressing the DTV button on your Beo4...
