Puncher: Still £400 is a bargain when it costs less than £50 anywhere else. no it is the expensive material they use to wrapped -up possibly a samsung free view

9 LEE: After the lengthy debate about the BeoVision 7 costing up to seven times more than it's rivals, and how B&O need to install freeview to UK supplied versions at least - Bang & Olufsen have come up with their own innovative solution. Freeview will be 'compulsory' in all BeoVision 7's as of March 1st 2008. 'Hooray'

Peter: Mildly ironic that the title of the thread is "Now, when the war is over..." i like that lol

i think we should start a petition to B&O singed by beoworld members for their lack of vision imho

Peter: I would wait 6 months until the technology has advanced. Most reviews I see are not that great. more likely to be 10years if any of their past performance ,they have not implemented digital tuner or free view in uk yet!!!!!!!!!

this is another nail in the coffin for b&o ,not as forward thinking company as we like to think, the company logo should say (customers always wrong )

un boxed(bang&olufsen) samsung and still waiting for b&o to pull their fingers out and produce the magic they used to do!! but not prepared to spend 10K plus this is ludicrous IMHO

DoubleR: First of all Happy New Year to you all 2007 has ended with the sale of my DVD1, Beocom 2, Beocom 2400 and the Beocom 6000 on eBay for it was necessary some good clean up. Having trimmed my B&O collection I will sit and wait until B&O will go back to good value for money. After forking thousands of pounds in 2001 I have not seen any

Bingo: The televisions are the trouble with their value in my opinion. You cannot be believable and be taken serieous when you charge 16000 euro for a 50 plasma with a Panasonic screen nowadays. Now they think they found out the wheel again with a camera on the new Beovision4 . I saw a $7,500 dollar price mentioned for the 50 inch new Beovison 4 without

The Beonic Man: The problem is, China IS the new Denmark! And the new England, and the new Europe, and the new rest of the world! Money=corruption. Lets not hide behind the facts. Cheap labour to maximise profits at the expense of polluting and not giving a damn about the people of China. Its exploitation whichever way you look at it. It makes me laugh
