I have twice now, over the last three weeks written and email to B&O customer services. I am looking for some help with a BV8 DVB-T module. Sadly no reply has been received from them, even though they give a ref number for the open case.

Ver very poor I am afraid!!!!

One of the reason I almost sold all my B&O 1 year age including: Beovision ,  4x Beolab 5, 6x Beolab 8000, and many more....

 

 

I still have some B&O( because of my wife ) but I will not buy any other B&O ...

Have you asked your dealer? That would be my first port of call.

Hi Peter yes I have. I need to get hold of a module, it is no longer available. Was hoping they may point me towards one or have some stock left. Long shot but and answer would be nice.

Hi Keith, not really tech questions as you can see from my reply to Peter.

 Thanks for your offer anyway, much appreciated as always!!!

This is my point really.

There is absolutely no point having CS support if issues, queries and complaints are not followed trough and answered.

It really leaves a sour taste in the mouth and we are not the only ones who have been ignored.

These modules are still available, but are different depending on which version of Beovision 8 you are talking about as defined below:-

  • Beovision 8-26 (Type 9500) uses a DVB-T/System Module Type 4470
  • Beovision 8-32 (Type 9550 & 9551) uses a DVB-T/System Module Type 4470
  • Beovision 8-40 (Type 9560) uses a DVB HD T/C/S2 Type 4776

I hope this helps

Regards Keith....

Maybe they could just forward questions straight to this forum, we could answer them, and in exchange for our polite prompt helpfulness B&O could contribute to the prize draw?

Sorry ill put the commons sense back in its box.

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.

Hi

It is really easy to blame B&O but it is mostly the fault of the dealer.

I used to ask to several dealers when I need something.I have more chance to have the right answer.

Before complaining directly to this forum and blaming b&o, you 'd better wonder if your dealer is the good one.

 

4 beolab 5,  beolab 9, beolab 10, beolab 5000, beolab 8000 mk2, beolab 6002, beolab 3500, beovision 7 55 mk2,  2 beovision 11 46 mk4, beotime, beosound ouverture, beosound essence, beoplay A8, beomaster 900 RG de luxe and the collection continues...

I.ve got a lot of help from members of this forum as B&O service in Montreal area is soooo poor!

 

I suppose that B&O is aware that Beoworld is an asset for most B&O enthusiast people!

I began my collection 4 years ago with a beomaster 5500...now I can't stop it.

beosound 9000 mk3 , beocenter 2 , beosystème 4500 , beolab 3 , beolab 7.4 , beolab 5000 , beolab 6000 , beovision 7.40 mk2 , beovision 5 , beovision av 9000

That still does not let B&O off the hook. Like I said previously, if you have CS then expect customers to use it and reply.

I'm also not having a good experience with B&O customer service, any advice will be appreciated.

I bought a Beovision Avant 55' and Beolab 18 in France and had it shipped to China by dealer. On unpacking I noticed damage to the pole of the motorized stand which did not occur during shipping but during production. I took a picture and send it to the dealer with a request how to proceed. By now we are already almost a month later. Yesterday I received a lengthy reply in which I could see the email exchange between customer service and the dealer in which they acknowledge the damage but shift responsibility between B&O and the dealer. Comes down to that they request me to send back the pole first after which they will send me a replacement. 

But what do they expect me to do with the TV in the meanwhile, (most likely will take over a month), I can't leave the TV where it is without the pole. Most likely will have to go to storage. I call that a lack of customer service for the amount of money you pay for the product. Seems like sending me a new pole is a minor request considering the total value of the set.

I've got one. Well, I've got three!  All the same part number. NOS / Boxed and Unused.

Any good to you?

Best take the one, that 9 Lee offers - if it is the right one.

They are no longer available from B&O.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
