Dear all,

someone have good news?

Italy switched completely to DVB-T,so i feel obliged to buy the official B&O DVB-T,because, frankly speaking, playtv(ps3) it's a good product but too lumbering!

Did they(b&o) do something to improve the start up time?Any new cool features??

Lower prices :D:D:D??

Ok, i use my tv with stofa cable, so maybe this has something to do with it. I will visit my dealer who also use DVB-T in his shop and have a look at his startuptime. Regarding the module, my dealer told me that that the fitted modules are not the same as the one in the MK IV, however we may have misunderstood each other.. Maybe someone on beoworld can clarify this??

Yes, this is really what I write.
I took time on it this morning when BV7-40 had been off all night.

I use my DVB-HD to take the digital signal with my antenna on the roof of my house. I'm using DVB-T part of the module.

I have no wait time when I change the channel or when I use the EPG.

Why do not you think it is the same module have my in my TV, as you have? -the only difference may be the SW version of the module!

Hi Tillquist

If it is true that the startuptime on your tv is only 7 sec, that is very very weird. My MKIV has the startuppicture for about 30-40 sec. when turning it on. Furthermore, channelswitching is also very slow, EPG is slow, sometimes it takes about 20 minutes before the channelinformation is present. I know that the module you have had fitted in your Mk III is not exactly the same as the one in my MK IV and I also know that some of the issues are related to the channelproviders, which one do you use, stofa, yousee or another??. I am pretty sure that other MK IV owners can confirm at least some of the issues i wrote in my first answer.

Hi Andrea

Do yourself a favor and stay away from the module. It does not work AT all as it is supposed to...., It is noisy, slow, lacks basic features, 30 sec. startuptime etc. etc.

It is not true.

I myself have used this module in 4 weeks and there is no noise.

From I press the button DTV and there are pictures on my BV7-40mk.III it takes 7 seconds.

I have been using the module for the last 8 months and apart from the 30 seconds startup time I have not experienced any problems.

It is well integrated with the HDR1 and HDR2 but you can not watch another channel while you are recording. You can also record a HD program, but it will only be in SD quality.

DVB-HD module for BS3

this unknow!!

here in Italy we are all moving to DVB-T , switching off analogic signal.

I would like to use the DVB of B&O but it's more than 600€,

Because i never seen a demo of this expensive integrated decoder,and information on web are quite inexistent,does it worth?

Does it have particular features?

Is better wait/Will B&O release a new DVB module soon?
