And as for the BeoVision 9, 16K must be including the Beo5 at £500 (which isnt much of a consolation), but i bet there are a few dealers out there ready to do deals on ex-display stock, Lee even has one on his site at a good price.

No, it doesn't include the Beo5.

I asked my dealer how much discount you'd get on the shop display BV9 and they said 10%. Perhaps 15% if you're lucky.

I must say that the price excluding Beo5 surprises me and surely that discount would be off the pre 10% increase price? or they must obviously have people queing up to buy there ex-display BV9's - I know what I would do!

Seanie:
apparently the drive is like £860 ish and two hours reccomended fitting in a workshop.

£860 seems a little on the high side i'm sure i heard it was less than that, but anyway, how much were they charging for labour to get it over £1000 £70 per hour?

My view on this is, how much does your dealer want to keep you on side, it's a replacement part for a TV they sold you, so why not do it as a reduced price for those customers. Surely as long as they cover their costs it would be a good PR excersise.

Me too; using the apple tv more and more - sheer convenience of instantly having whatever film takes your fancy!

I'm really fed up with B&O TVs at the moment. My new replacement BV7-40 MKIV is now crashing and I'm running around trying to figure the reason.

Visited my local B&O store at lunch and was amazed to see the BV9 is now £16K. It was £13K something only in May? Amazing. I was seriously thinking about upgrading to that only a few months ago. I guess the BV7-55 will be around £14K. Got to be, as it will be on the same level as the BV9.

£1000 to watch a Blu-ray. Now I know someone on here said that if you're going to pay £10K for a TV you want the best possible experience. However, you can buy a hell of a lot of SD DVDs on your MKIII instead of a £1000 upgrade.

Hello All

£1000+ to update a BV7 mk3 to bluray and it has no ethernet for software updates.

£1000+ to fit a bluray player into a 9k tv.

Shocking
