Hello
I have been watching Netflix using Apple TV connected to my TV, no problem works perfectly......however.....Bandersnatch arrived and Apple TV doesn't support the movie/features.
I tried to download Netflix using the Android software on the TV and I constantly get the message that Netflix doesn't work on this device........What gives?
Any ideas? My understanding is the reason that B&O started using Android was to be able to use Netflix et al. It seems the new iterations of the B&O TVs have a Netflix Button on the Remote.
My gut feeling is that it is not supported, because when I bought the TV, the store where I bought it (and subsequently set it up at my home) were very keen on me using the Apple TV to stream Netflix, is this why????
Anywho I would be interested if anyone knows either way, I have tried to Google this but I find the answers are generally non definitive.
thanks
hi.
The new Beoremote one with netflix is only for the newer beovision eclipse:)
BV 14 will not get Netflix, because B&O have no deal with Netflix on the android platform.
So the apple tv or chromecast is the only choice for you=)
Sweet, thanks for your help. Was kind of my gut feeling. I guess I will get ChromeCast too.
I had guests the other night who have some inkling of what B&O is all about (price) and its at best embarrassing when your $13000 tv doesn't play Netflix and the 500 buck Samsung TV in my office does, 1st world problems I know, but still pretty crap when you are mocked by you peers as we streamed it from a phone :/

Netflix refuses to support the BV14 because the BeoOne BT does not have a dedicated Netflix button. In order to have Netflix as a stock app on the TV there are certain steps the TV brand has to take. (+ some licensing probably too) B&O refused to have a Netflix button on the remote and Netflix axed the support for the TV.
Game over for Netflix on the Avant/Horizon and BV14.

No Netflix button on the Apple remote, though.

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Indeed.. Correct... but.. It's only related to smartTVs (https://devices.netflix.com/en/recommendedtv/2018/); not to set top boxes or media streaming devices. My Samsung UHD BluRay player also has Netflix on it, but not a Netflix button on the remote)
I was just pointing at the odd behaviour of the company Netflix.
No need for a special button on the remote.....just because it is a tv!
Anyway - B&O had to give in with the Eclipse.
Fortunately the previous BT remote works just as well there - if you don’t like the button.

I've seen a manual of a BV14 where both of the remotes were referenced... one with Netflix button and one without. But probably not good enough for Netflix. Anyway.. that's what you get when you as a small Danish AV company try to take on a semi monopolist.

Netflix has never worked on the BV14, nor will it ever work. Netflix will not let B&O install it onto their BV14/Horizon TVs... see my posts about it above in this thread.

jonsee09:Hello, I have another suggestion that you can use Netflix to stream via HDMI to your TV. This is a common practice if Netflix is not supported on your TV.

You are using it on your B&O TV?
