JamesC:Hi, just wondering if the remote comes with TV and included in the price ? I was told by my dealer that it is sold separately and Beo4 doesn't work on New Avant. According B&O website , it says quite clear the remote is included , stand options , 3D glasses are "sold" separately. Thanks, JC
The BR1 can be bought seperately but should always be included with the Avant 55". Maybe he's trying to make a bit extra on the side? Check again with them and if they persist in saying 'it's extra' I'd report the franchise to B&O HQ and let them know. How on earth can they think they can supply a TV that needs the BR1 and then try to charge you extra for it? Very poor show.

Normally the quoted price includes a remote and sometimes other things like a stand etc. The quoted price is a "package price".
BUT all B&O items are prices separately, so the price on the Avant supplied by your dealer may be a Avant only price.
This is done because there are so many different choices of remotes, stands etc. They need to have a separate price for each item, so the price reflects your choices.

Both your dealer and the website is correct - but not at the same time.
At launch and until recently the BeoRemote One had a very limited availability and as a result was packed and shipped separately from the tv.
Today, the BeoRemote One is packed together with the tv and shipped in the same box. As a consequence B&O changed the pricelist to reflect this fact.

JamesC: and Beo4 doesn't work on New Avant.
I asked Beocare that question a while ago (May 2015).
The answer I got was, that you can use the Beo4 (navi) with the Avant, but that they would recommend the BR1 for all functions to work.
So yes - you could use an existing Beo4.
I don't know which functions don't work - would be nice if anyone, who has experience with this, could tell us.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
It's included in the price. The dealer may be unaware of this, as its seperate on the order but with zero price. It can also be ordered separately.
