I have a Beovision7 that was upgraded for HDTV some time ago. Got a PS4 for the kids and guess what? How do I connect? I have tried connecting the lead from the PS4 into the HDTV adaptor on the rear of the TV but cannot find the PS4 signal. I also have a Sky plus box.

Any views help on this would be much appreciated as I am starting to fear that what's needed is a new TV!!!! I am getting much aggro form the kids also. Help please!!!

What type of adapter are you using on the back? I am assuming you have a Mk1 or Mk 2 BV7 with just 1 DVI socket. This means you can only connect 1 HD cable unless you use a splitter. Check out the Atlona website as they should have something suitable. If the connections are all fine and the adaptor types correct then I am not sure what to suggest. Can someone from B&O come out to advise further?

B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.
11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.

Correct. I only have one DV1socket and use an adaptor to connect my Sky satellite box to the TV. I have tried connecting the PS4 directly to this adapter ( removing the Sky satellite box) and also connecting into the HDMI portal through the Sky satellite box. I cannot find the PS4 signal doing either. I may be not looking at the correct page using the B&O TV control. Where should I be looking for the signal / what settings should I set up?

Can you phone your dealer for further support? In the meantime someone else might chime in but it could be all sorts of reasons. Not very helpful I know.

Hi, your DVI connection will only support HD to 720p, not full HD at 1080p. If you can connect the PS4 to a full HD tv and get into the display settings, you should be able to change the display settings to 720p. You will also need a separate audio cable from the PS4 to the TV in the same way you did with Sky. And your Sky box will need to run off something other than HDMI - such as Scart if the Sky box has one.

Did you ever sort this out? I am planning on doing the same.
