Hi guys,
I`ve bought an Avant 55 with set of Beolab 18 last week. I'm very satisfied with the performance it delivers. Than suddenly I ordered a BV 11-40 with motor wall bracket today. BV 11 will be installed tomorrow.
However, the technician mixed up my mind. Referring to the manual of Avant, I can connect 2 TV's via NL cable directly to each other. The technician said the TV's should be connected over a router. I can`t connect them direct to each other!!!
If it is so, why in manual of Avant shows direct connection between 2 TVs?
Can anybody tell me what is correct and what is wrong?
P.S. I installed the Avant 55 in bed room and using often sleep function. On sleep function, tv shuts down but the speaker doesn`t drive in. I wrote to B&O because I tought that this is a Software bug! They said this is just a safety future. There can be an object between the TV and the speaker or even a Hand of a child. So, they decided not to run speaker in on sleep or any other automatic function. Speaker drives in just manually. For your Information ;) (Possibly you already know) :)

Your technician is absolutely right.
The NL infrastructure need a router to work.
In some cases even a seprate router is recommented - the NL being setup as a subnetwork of the main network structure.
When the manual talks about a NL cable, it includes the routing through an internet connected router.
Otherweise they would have written 'connect with a CAT cable/network cable'.
N.B. You can connect one or both wirelessly to your existing router (if your wireless setup is in good condition).

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Thanks for your answer MM.
I'm little bit disappointed. I mean Avant and BV 11 both are Internet TV so there must be a connection and there is D-Lan at home. D-Lan is not that stable as the others but it works well.
Avant is working over NAS (Twonky Server) perfectly and all wireless. There are some issues with mkv files (I can`t move Forward or get back) but all the rest working brilliant.
I`ll give a try tomorrow and let all know the performance of tv to tv NL connection.
Double post
If your Avant is connected to the router (to get access to the internet and to the NAS, where the Twonky server is running), it won't be dificult to integrate the BV11 as well.
Either through a CAT6/7 cable (from the router), through accessing the Wifi part of the router or with a PowerLine adapter connected to the router at one end.
You probably don't have a problem at all
