Just had a couple of minutes to try the functionality with the connected PC, that works, so, i think it points to the tv section! Back at it tonight or tomorrow, its a bit time dependant!

A little more info:-

The Build type in RED is strange.  I searched using AI and it came up with: The red text for the "Build Type" in your BeoVision 10's service menu indicates that the television is currently running on engineering, prototype, or non-standard service software, rather than the official consumer release. This status is an internal flag used by Bang & Olufsen technicians during development, testing, or specific repairs. It is not typically seen on a standard retail unit with regular software updates. On the Monitor page is there anything listed against the DVB-T/C field?

Ok, thanks for that! No DVB-T/C listed in monitor info or anywhere else. and in the DVB Service Menu    DVB connected    yes the Monitor menu5 after those quoted earlier PW  328 FEP FEP Bootloader FA Module STD Module System Module BTB Mdule DSM FEP DSM DSP DVB HD T CON I also contacted BnO Tech Support, they have given me a Historic BnO repairer but they are 350miles away near Rouen - last resort I think to visit, I will mail them tomorrow to ask if they have any suggestions / solutions to try. Meanwhile I will try to locate my list of engineering settings prepared earlier in the year to compare with now  -  it would also give me the working Build number.

Et voila!!!? Switched on this morning, still the same situation, looked at the BnO menu page, went to options, tv setup, ticked both boxes then clicked on DVB and the world opened up. Could choose language country satellite etc. And after the next click everything started to reload, after reload had finished rebooted tv and french tv was available and with the sideways arrow to the right freesat came up   ---   BRILLIANT, ---- I am now a happy bunny!! I now just need to recreate my personal channel list, a bit of a ballacher, takes a couple of hours, but hey what's that over paymens to a distant repairer!!! Monitor info still showing Build 127 in red, I think I can live with that though!? Tony a la Finistere  

Great news - have a good weekend!

Have now finished setting up the tv, just checked the Monitor Info area and the Build 127 is now back to black -- maybe it's a no programs loaded thing?
