Nice to see that India is giving all they got with testing and development :)
is that right about Multiroom not coming in January?
wow, though doesnt surprise me given all the bugs with the initial software.....very disappointing.
My Android doesnt tend to crash, in fact struggle to remember it crashing actually....and i dont mind the new user interface, Netflix generally works, so my requirements are fairly limited......
All the same, my main issue is that audio / sound drops out at times, fixed with a restart of the tv, but very annoying.....a 6k TV that can't keep its audio is pretty basic.....although dont seem to hear too many other owners with that problem?
After much grumbling, B&O her offered to replace my BV14-55 with a new one, which is all fine, but i am not confident that will fix all my issues.....or just swap them for issues that others are having......if its not smooth, i'll just give it back to them, and get a BV11-55.....
sq2002: Anyone else also using light control and BV14 ?
Anyone else also using light control and BV14 ?
If you are, please tell us how!

There is a tv - and there is a BV
I have been told recently that the update is due for December 21. So it is delayed? In my opinion delay is not an option. On the other hand, what will happen if the update comes on the 21st? I guess dealers don't appreciate an update with possible new failures during Christmas time.
I have asked for a new Horizon if this next update does not fix certain issues.
I was told this morning by my dealer that it wont come on Dec 20/21st whatever the date was supposed to be....they actually had not been given a time for when to expect it.....so who knows......i am being given a replacement BV14-55 in the next few days, but i am not confident it will sort out the issues.....
I fear you are right. On the other hand, if a lot of customers demand replacement of their Beovisions, this will raise the pressure on B&O to solve the issues. I think they should not have released the new Beovisions on the market yet.
It is possible, you have to change in the BeoRemote BT from BV-14 to BV AV, after that you see the LIGHT function in the list. You can control the lights, but after that you have to go back in the remote from AV to BV-14 and select the tv mode. The MyButton function does not store that loop.
So very difficult to control, that's why I was asking..
Exactly - those, who (still) use the Light control are quite lost ;-((((
You could (?) have the good old 'Keyring A9'lauing around, but that would only be switching on/off of the light.
Millemissen:Exactly - those, who (still) use the Light control are quite lost ;-(((( MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
Is the Horizon a real replacement for the BV-14 ? In my case I have a BV-14 55 so I would need a 55" replacement, but is that something you could/might expect from the dealer ? Maybe the Avant, but that is also an Android.

Yes, very frustrating... because LIGHT is IR and the rest is BT..
If anyone knows a smarter way to control trough the BeoRemote One BT I would welcome that...
BeoGreg: Millemissen: Exactly - those, who (still) use the Light control are quite lost ;-(((( MM There is a tv - and there is a BV. I do everyday, well, every night. It would be frustrating not to be able to do it with the last remote (after doing it with Beolink 1000 and various Beo 4's for twenty years...).

the horizon is not a replacement of the bv 11 or 14
how can you think such a thing when you see the features and price of each ?
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...

No, the Horizon is not a replacement. However it uses the same panel / software and the stability issues / problems are entirely equal to the BV 14 issues. I own a Horizon and if the problems are not solved after the next update I will ask replacement for a new Horizon. So I was not aiming at getting a BV 14 switched for a Horizon.
Ok as you all know the new SW comes week 5.
I can tell you that B&O works all day and night to solve the issues.
So I think its importent that all of you who has BV14 or Horizon give feedback
to your dealer. We must all help to fix this
My BV14-55 will be swapt for a hole new one. My screen is faulty etc...
Some good refelction is that my ripped DVDs that I have on my Tvix 6600HD
shows a very very good picture!! I wonder why it is so good on BV14 against my BV11 I had before!?
Its nearly HD quality.

Well - some say, that it will be in March....and not even solving all issues.
Received another reply from BeoCare regarding timing of a software update for the BV14:
"So sorry to hear about your BeoVision 14. I hope for your patience just a little while longer.
We expect a software update in week 5 to resolve most, if not all, of these "teething troubles". Another update is expected in week 10.
So sorry for the inconvenience this causes you in the meantime."
Note:
Most users have turned on automatic update - this is usually made during the night.
Those who are very eager to see, what this update brings, should search for it manually.

Michael:Is there a release note?
ITS NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR ME !!!!!
got home turned on the tv and it prompted me to do the software update, it downloaded in about 5 minutes and then went on to install had the little green android robot on the screen as it installed took about 8-10 min then the BANG OLUFSEN logo come up and the red light on the top of the tv has been flashing red for about 20 minutes and the tv has completely frozen up nothing will work !!!, now i have to make a decision to power off at the mains or just throw a brick at it very disappointed I / WE deserve better !!!!! oh and while writing this my besound 14 speakers have started flashing red and green for no reason there not even connected to the tv ???????
My Beovision and Beoremote one are updated. No crashes so far. Some new items in the screen of the Beoremote one. But.... I had to activate the bass management again after I had shut off the Beovision. The settings are somehow lost when you shut the Beovision off. This very annoying issue - that is there from the start - has unfortunately not been solved.....
mr_anders_son: Michael: Is there a release note? Not on the screen!
Michael: Is there a release note?

Not on the screen!
I saw the remark that some quality issues and a few minor (!!!!!!!!!!!! how do they dare to use these two words) were solved.
Some new stuff in the remote
One more
Got mine sorted at last, crashed a few times during the update i also have the beo one update with the extra cinema options, I'm getting bugs tho like on the settings screen only about two thirds of the screen is displayed, hopefully it will settle down, does this update now allow me to mate my beosound 18 speakers to the tv to use as front speakers while i use the with my moment when not using the tv ??, anybody ?
mr_anders_son: Some new stuff in the remote
I tried this one but didn't notice a reaction. What should this do?
I see Matrix support was added, I enabled it but can't see any way to add my Matrix sources - anyone any ideas?
Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
Aha! May I ask how? If I enable the matrix on HDMI1, I then can't see any HDMI1 source (never mind any matrix source) Am I missing a step (or three!?)
TIA!
boskonay:Aha! May I ask how? If I enable the matrix on HDMI1, I then can't see any HDMI1 source (never mind any matrix source) Am I missing a step (or three!?) TIA!
Blast, not on mine :( Anything special about your config, or just wired matrix<>tv on hdmi 1?
what matrix are you using? i have the same problem as you.......added the matrix, but cant see any additional sources.......what is odd is that i can use the matrix's web page on safari to access the matrix connected sources...(i have a Pulse Eight)......so the matrix is passing the sources through to the BV14, but i cant use the BV14 menu's etc to control them...........
I have an Atlona AT-UHD-PRO3-66M
The matrix is online and working fine, I can manage it perfectly from my Avant, and can use the web GUI as you, to switch sources and watch them on the Horizon and 14, but no sources in the 14/Horizon menus....
Thank you thank you! It works! Odd - is the 66 implementation buggy?
