Hi all, first post here (I searched to see if anyone else had covered this but I don't think so). I run an aerial/satellite installation company and I went to a customers who has a Beovision 9 TV in his lounge with 2 other B & O sets in other parts of the house. With the older Sky box that was in there, Sky could be controlled & viewed on all TVs in the house.
The old box was single tuner, a Thomson model. I spoke with my local B & O dealer today and they said that the main TVs & the smaller bedroom sets need to be programmed by a B & O engineer and they need a chip upgrade. Anyone have any information on this? I'm not interested in doing it myself (even if I could), I want B & O to get their guys in.
What I'm interested in knowing is how long the process takes & what the benefits are. As far as I can tell, none of the sets have digital freeview tuners, will the chip upgrade mean freeview can be received on these sets? Basically my customer has to weigh up the benefits of having a Sky Plus HD wifi box that is not working with his sets and therefore paying for an engineer to come out and do the upgrade against just putting the old Thomson single tuner in and accepting the limits of the system.
Any thought/opinion? Many thanks.
