https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/3477/31419.aspx#31419 (I do find it strange that your DVB-HD module accepts the same SW updates (0.1.9.9) as my T2 version, however, which probably led to my confusion!) If you still want Freeview HD, then I would suggest that adding one of the Humax Freeview HD tuners would be a far more cost effective solution than trying to fit a newer DVB-HD module. If you do decide to go this route, make sure that the B&O engineer installs the STB PUC code for whatever Humax box you purchase. In my experience the user interface (even with STB/PUC) will be far better than the B&O DVB module! I am a big fan of the Humax boxes, having used both Freesat and Freeview versions for years with my previous BV6s.Location: Warwickshire, UK

DVB-HD T/C mk1 - latest version
15 replies
Hello all,
I've booked my first B&O home visit from an engineer to have a look over my BV7-40 mk5 with a view to finding out why I can't receive HD programmes via terrestrial. These are exciting times. I'm getting the PUC list refreshed with the latest codes to be able to link to various STBs and peripherals.
The module I have installed is DVB-HD T/C mk1, running version 0.1.9.9 from 22nd May 2012. I updated to this version myself after downloading the software from the B&O website.
It looks like the Wiki could be updated with this version info, but sadly I don't know what the improvements/changes were.
I shall report back here with any interesting findings from the engineer's visit. Hopefully at £255 the results will be pleasing.

I updated my BV10-32 from 0.1.8.9 to 0.1.9.9 shortly after I bought it, but didn't notice any improvements/changes. I vaguely remember seeing a thread somewhere about what the improvements were supposed to be, but can't find it any more.
I have no problem receiving HD programmes via terrestrial. Are you sure that the antenna is connected to the DVB-HD input, rather than the old analogue one?

Hello Guy,
Thanks for coming back to me.
A fair comment about connection - I have the aerial connected to the 'middle' socket. (Imagine the 3 aerial sockets in the diagonal line from inside to outside.)
I believe the one furthest in is for the analogue tv tuner, the middle one for terrestrial or cable and the one on the outside for satellite.
Dont tell me I've messed that up!! LOL! I'll go an check.

^ That looks to me like the setup for an analogue tuner. I don't have time to look right in detail right now (have to go out for a while) but there should be a Tuner Setup menu where you can disable the analogue tuner, and make sure that the DVB tuner is switched on. This should then enable you to tune the digital tuner.
The manuals are still available from B&O support here: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041950191

Thanks Guy,
I'm familiar with the menu you mention, and the analogue TV tuner is indeed switched off. DVB is the only tuner activated (I have the Firestick programmed to the TV button on the Beo4) and is accessed via the DTV button on the Beo4.
Hopefully the engineer will have all the answers. The dealer (Tunbridge Wells, Kent) was wondering if a previous owner had changed the module at some point but not been able to flash the BV with the correct software.
I hope all will be revealed.
A final curiosity - I was wondering if the fact that my DVB module is a mark1 variant might hinder its ability to capture Freeview HD. I read in another post from Beoworld that FreesatHD was once the preferred tuner module.
