The amp is not need for its amplifier function but to split and remerge the signal, as the BV7 TV does not pass the signal through unlike older TVs.

I masterlinked my bv1 myself its very easy, get a large junction box though as the small can hardly squeeze all the cables in. If you are only linking 1 tv from the master you won't need the amplifier.

Analog via the socket, decoder (adsl box from provider -> hopefully through masterlink).

Thank you guys, really thanks for all the help. Because of all this help Ive finally bought one from my good friend Graham (beo4life). I havent collected it yet, but i cant wait!

Now all I need is.... (i think).... masterlink cable, junction box (preferrably hub), RF antenna cable and RF Amplifier?

One thing that should be mentioned is the sound is awesome!! Not as good as the avant but loads better than my mx7000 which is good!

Cheers Nick

timhanna:

Thanks for the reply nickyg63!

Does the 4:3 bother you? can you use the A.AUX on your ouverture over the link?

The set deals with 4:3 brilliantly as it shows 16:9 in the top 2/3rds of the screen so it doesn't look strange at all!

A Aux works fine I believe I haven't tried it myself, I take it your connecting an ipod or similar.

Cheers Nick

One more thing, the BV7 does not pass the Aerial signal through (the link out socket only send the link signal, but not the signal coming from the aerial). So you'll need an amplifier from B&O that is able to split and re-merge the signal... and somewhere to hide it!

Hi Phil,

Thanks again. Don't worry I got it ;D

Just need to do some "research" into what 4:3 looks like after being used to 16:9 and might go for one.

Everyone's help in this has been really useful and helpful for me! Thanks again.

I do not have a BV1 but a MX7000 (even older) and I can get all the sources from my BV7. I do not have a local source on the MX. I do not have a Media center.

For your SAT box, connect the HDMI and the SCART at the same time if you want the BV7 to transit the signal to the BV1.

Basically the BV7 can only transmit sources connected to the SCART or the SD inputs, not the HDMI, DVI or Analog HD.

(I feel like I am repeating myself).

If you have a media center, try and make it work on the BV7, so you can enjoy it on 2 TVs.

Great. Did you use a seperate media centre for the BV1 Phil, or did you link it to the main tv?

My SAT box shows SD signals, but ive connected it with an HDMI cable, will i still need to connect the scart cable as well or does the tv only care that the signal is SD?

DVD, DVB tuner, HDR1/2, SAT work without problem.

The problem only comes from HD source, like the Apple TV.

You need to connect them at the same time to the HD input AND to a SD input (scart).

timhanna — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:09:41 GMT

But a DVD on the BV7 would sent to the BV1 no problems right? In addition, have you used any media centre on the bv1? the apple tv wont apprently work without a modulator.
