vlohjr1:I have been told by dealers by the end of the year that a new tv will be out bv11 perhaps?
I asked my dealer about this on Friday and he had no idea about a BV11. I did wonder if this was a ploy to avoid customers waiting for a new TV, but he genuinely didn't think a new TV would be out this year.
Just out of interest, where will this BV11 sit in the range? I can't see the need for yet another B&O TV. I'd rather see B&O launch larger versions of their existing TVs - such as a 55" BV10 or a 55" BV12!
BV11 isn't this going to be the new updated BV10 that we were all talking about 2 or 3 weeks ago?
You mean it works ?

I can't imagine them keeping the same form factor and changing the name. Why would they do that? For instance, the BV7 received a much bigger upgrade when the BS3 was added between MKII and the MKIII, plus a 1080 panel, but they referred to it as BV7. It didn't receive a name change.
If B&O plan on producing a BV10 "lite", without masterlink, it will be incredibly confusing if they give it the BV11 moniker! So I can't imagine that happening either.
As I said, my dealer said that this BV11 wasn't mentioned at the recent dealer conference, so isn't this TV just speculation on behalf of this board? No-one seems to know anything about it, nor how it will sit in the range.

B&O have never been very consistent in their numbering -and I guess they have used all the numbers from 1 -10 for tv's - so why not?
Well, I'm going to back track. My dealer admitted there *will* be a BV11, possibly in 40/46/55" sizes, with the new V1 chassis and possibly even a hard drive recorder built in. Says it will be out before the end of this year and could be as soon as October.
I'm a bit lost. I have no idea how another TV will sit in the range, whether it will replace another TV or anything. Dealer didn't know either. I guess they'll find out in September.
You can call it “lite”, but sooner or later there is going to be a switch, where the masterlink is left out in the future tv’s. CD’s are slowly fading away and the V1 gives you allready a good alternative to replace FM-radio. My guess is that the BS4 is the last audiomaster in B&O’s product range as we know it.
The new audiomasters of these days are servers in the form of a NAS or BS5.

Could not agree more!
Seems the BV10-32 launched end of 2010 has been the last new product equipped with ML!All new products of 2011 and 2012 connect / stream via RJ45 and / or WiFi.(Since BeoSystem 3 is not new, BV12-65 and BV 4-85 are no "new" products)If you count 1 + 1 it's obvious the ML era already has ended silently. Very likely, similar to the transition from MCL to ML 20 years ago, we can expect a last ML product - a converter between ML and "Whateverwillbethename"-Link.

Isn't that what we already said above? :)
Basically, the only thing that's uncertain is the design and the price. Dealers should be told in September.

Let's hope they sort out the gaming lag.
Let's hope it is priced below the current BV10 but with more function as in the V1
And I for one would probably give up the MasterLink requirement
