Hi all,
I have bought a bv7 with a faulty dvd player. I am going to save up to fix the drive, in the meantime do I buy a dvd1 or another brand to get on with? I am asking this because if the dvd1 doesnt work correctly with the bv7 having a built in dvd player then i am wasting my cash. Also are the dvd1's getting on a bit so reliability could be an issue?
your thoughts please
Thanks Nick
I would get a cheap other brand - you can probably get a Blu-ray player for less than a DVD1. Get the right one and you can probably work it using a PUC.

Thank you Peter, I do want to get my internal one fixed at some point. I did think about blu ray players, i need to work out how to connect it to the bv7 as the sky box is using the dvi socket.
Cheers Nick
You can use this:

On the dvi port of the BV plug this:

Done.
Dimitris-
thanks for that, do they work well?
Will the hdmi splitter work with beo 4?

thank Martin, replied to
No, unfortunately no. I use it as a cheap solution for my BV7, You select one of the 3 ports (for me new ATV, HD set top box, BR player), manually via a button. Piece of cake. (and on budget!)
