Here's what I found so far:
- BLGW on the remote ... but I don't have Gateway... and I can't remote the item on the remote.
- Some UHD HDMI settings.
Probably more stuff but that what I found at first sight...

I know…B&O virus has grown on me !
But still no possibility to controle the TV through the BeoRemote or new B&O X app

Fansastic:First finds: - Picture / sound settings for NL products - Song title on screen when connected to NL source (no artist name, as on other non android NL tv's) - Netflix app worked (could be one time only) - Start pattern play from Moment starts tv up correctly - Sub kicks in correctly after selecting relevant speaker group Hopefully there is more under the booth..picture wise and stability
Fansastic:And Netflix gone again...such a pity that b&o and netflix cannot reach an agreement about this alp. Again no 4K video for me
Netflix worked for me yesterday after the update.. But there's a good chance that it stops working with the all familiar error....

This and the limited download capacity is why I changed from TV-provider a while ago, now it's integrated in the decoder I get from the new provider. And working without errors...

mr_anders_son:New sw for Beoremote!
Didn't work for me :-(
Yes, the bass management is finally how it should be! And also the picture processing has been improved again. Side-effects are almost gone now. This can be noticed when the camera is following a moving object (like when watching sports) or fast action scenes in movies. We are getting there!
BeoVision Eclipse 55”, Beolab 18s, Beolab 19s, Beosound 1, Beoplay P2, H3, BeoRemote One IR, BeoRemote One BT, Beoplay S8, Beosound Essence MkII, BeoTime
I would say this, as a BV14 owner.
The software experience has been poor, though seems much more stable now. As for the remote, i dont regard it as a step down particularly (and i have an infra red version for my lounge TV)....i haven't had the problems described above, the residual problem i have is that the source specific functions sometimes don't get sent to the TV on startup, so requires reselecting the source on the remote, and its fine from there. Generally though the TV software doesn't seem to crash very much at all, once in the last few weeks for me....i suspect thats as much an Android thing. If you have low patience for quirks as described, then you will have to think about the above....reviews of Sony TVs also mention software crashes.....
My main issue is not the above, as its relatively trouble free compared to last September / October.......its more the screen / panel type in the new TVs....watching sport in HD is pretty damn good, but watching dramas where there are dark scenes, the TV really struggles.......and this doesn't seem to have been addressed......and halo-ing as the camera pans rapidly isn't good at all......
As as result of this, i am swapping it for an Avant (not Android), and hoping that the above 2 image issues are better with the original Avant's which were locally dimmed as opposed to the globally dimmed new screens (which are more vivid, but hobbled by the above from my 6m experience so far).....
Tried to be objective above, even though my lounge Tv is a BV12-65 which is still amazing, and issue free......
Rob:Oh no Chris, what have we let ourselves in for !!! I apprehensively ordered an Avant the other day. After posting on here asking for user experiences, the response was almost zero. I therefore must assume that several folks are not amused, with their TVs incl. remotes etc.. Alternatively how impartial are the folks on this forum, or have we all turned into B&O zombies? By the way, the delivery quote by my B&O dealer (or more exactly their service technician) is 600 Euros, not exactly a bargain - the B&O store is 400 meters away from my house. At the same time my lovely working BV5 gets carted away - oh sorrow. Why am I experiencing no joy in buying this product, only fear that I have been conned!!!

Netflix on Horizon 40....
(no Updates, since Version 5.0 is only for "compatible devices")
What are your tricks?
So far my best chances are:
Do you have any shortcuts?

dayoff2017:Netflix on Horizon 40.... (no Updates, since Version 5.0 is only for "compatible devices") What are your tricks? So far my best chances are: unplug tv, plug in again try Netflix If it works If it doesn't: open many apps (like Kodi, Youtube, Games, etc. at least four or five apps try again repeat until Do you have any shortcuts?
you're right....for some reason i stopped playing around with the settings a while ago, can't quiet remember why.........just switched it off as suggested, much better from my initial test.....
thanks
I've been very happy lately with the Horizon. Multi room working and all. But lately the TV has started to restart itself quite randomly. It all started with the latest update. Anyone knows why?
I sometimes hear a plop and the sound is gone and subsequently the television reboots or I have to switch it off. I had this issue a few times before the latest update, but it happened three times (in two weeks) since the latest update.

what specific problem is it having?
surely its all software related?
Sandyb:what specific problem is it having? surely its all software related?
mr_anders_son:More correct...my third set...no the current BV14 is the panel faulty...se my earlier post of the screen...
Would you mind linking to that? Couldn't find it in the first ten pages of your post history.
Good afternoon,
Concerning the halo around objects problem, could you check if the artifact also occurs with these high quality 4K video files? If yes, there is definitely a problem with the video processing.
These are sample files from the latest Canon camcorder and should be exempt of the compression artifacts of TV broadcasts or even Blu-Ray discs.

You could also test if the built-in media player of the BV-14 is able to play these files directly. Download the two last files (Caution: 1.5 Gb for both)
Good luck,
Jean
