>>> Check that Scart control is set to "ON" in the Sky box set up menu. Bingo! That solved the problem. I assumed that all commands from the BV7 were sent to the Sky+ HD box through IR, but it seems that numbers are passed most reliably over SCART. I still don't understand why the delay occurred, though; surely it'd either

Hi All, I have my BeoVision 7-40 Mk II connected to Sky HD with DVI and co-ax audio as well as a SCART cable. I have the IR sender to the Sky HD box, and use both my Beo4 and Beo5 remotes with this setup. Everything works exactly as advertised, but when I type channel numbers in manually there's a pause of up to 30 seconds before the numbers are

I'm glad you're getting on OK with your BV 7-40 MkII - unfortunately, I already have 3 HD sources that I'd like to use, and I think Santa might be bringing me a Wii sometime soon (although that's 480p component at best, and I'll probably use RGB SCART). I think I'm leaning towards the Gefen HDMI switch option at the moment. Does

Hi All, I'm interested to hear how other people have managed the limited HD connectivity of the Beovision 7 Mk II. We've had our BeoVision 7-40 Mk II, on the beautiful motorised floor stand, for about 3 years now. We have Sky+ HD and a Samsung BDP-1600 BluRay player, and also an AppleTV. I am, however, increasingly frustrated at the poor connectivity

Keith, Thanks very much for your reply and offer of help! I think I've solved the problem, though. Fairly predictably, it wasn't anything to do with either IRSCOPE, the config tool or your (excellent) XML generator! I was 'translating' the IRSCOPE .ict files in Excel, and then copy-pasting into a text editor. When I did this, the resulting

All, I've had my BEO5 for a couple of weeks now, and I've been trying to get it to directly control a couple of 3rd party products (a Scientific Atlanta HD DVR and a Samsung Blu-Ray player). I've been using a USB IR sniffer to capture remote codes, translating the raw captures to Lintronic raw format, and then using the XML generator to

Thanks for your responses. I've read the technical article; I didn't know the differences between Mk1/2 and Mk3 Powerlink cables. Will my Lab 4000s work properly with a Mk 3 cable? I'll make up some new cables to the Mk3 spec and try them again with the Lab 3s! Regards, Simon.

Hi All, I've just moved into a new home and am installing my Beolab 3s and Beolab 4000s. I've made up some Powerlink cables using some 8-pin DIN connectors and some Cat7 SSTP ethernet cable that I already had. The cables carry audio nicely, but the speakers don't turn themselves off when I power down my sources. I found some advice on an

I've been in touch with Russ at Tyson's Corner B&O in Washington DC - he thinks that the power supply on the BV7-40 Mk III US is 110-120V only, so I don't think buying a US screen to bring back to the UK will work. I'm still investigating and haven't given up hope yet! He also mentioned the BV7-40 Mk IV being available 'this

Hi All, Thank you all very much for your detailed replies. I really liked the suggestion of selling my UK display and buying a US one - until I noticed that you're the manager of the Broadway B&O store! You _clearly_ have a lot in common with my local B&O sales staff! Only kidding - I really appreciate the advice. I have wondered about upgrading
