I have a Beovision 7-40 mk5, this has in the menu a choice between with or without navi button, I use it with a Beo 4 mk4 Navi and it works perfect, I think it also works with a mk6 (led version of the 7-40)

best wishes, Ken

^^ Thanks MM - I hoped that you would reply as I knew you'd give a comprehensive answer!

Reading through your points, it does seem like I need to give the navi remote a little more time before passing judgement.  I am using the BV10's built in TV tuner (DVB-T2 in UK) and the only STB connected is an Apple TV HD, using the TV's STB for 'Apple Remote' (about which I may ask more questions later in another thread!)

As you say, I think that the TV's Programme Guide (matrix) and the Apple TV's tiled apps are probably best explored using the navi button, so I will persevere a little longer and see how I get on.  My wife tends to watch Netflix (on ATV) so I will see how she likes the FF/RW feel of the new button, and of course the PLAY, STOP layout - I suspect that the final decision may well be with her!

I will probably come back with more feedback once I have experimented a bit further.

^^ Thanks Ken - yes it does seem that many users are happy with the navi remote with a variety of B&O TVs, and I just need to get used to it so that I appreciate its advantages!

Update: I have decided to stick with the 'non-navi' Beo4 remote.  I just don't like the vague feel of the navi button itself.  Also, I prefer LIST to be lower down on the remote (I use STAND often) and I prefer TEXT to be lower (BTW TEXT moves to the RECORD position on the navi remote, not to LIST; RECORD then goes to LIST).

TEXT is useful in UK because the BBC still provide interactive features which can be accessed by either the Red Button or TEXT, but I then need TEXT to exit, as shown below.

But I will hang on to the navi remote in case I change my mind with my next TV 🙂

Well, that is how little ( = never) I use the TEXT button - I had to take a look at my remotes to see, that you are right.

I don’t even know that/if I can use that button for the interactive services…..always use the RED 🙂

These features are probably different (when I look at your pic) than, what the danish and german channels I use, offers.
These are more like a website here.

I can enter the 'Red Button Text' service by pressing either RED or TEXT, but strangely (as it says on the screen) I have to exit by using TEXT.

As I found out with my BC6-26, the menu (and hence Beo4 buttons) for use of the digital tuner changes significantly if you change the country in the digital tuner's SETUP menu.  I had to set my BC6 to somewhere other that UK to get it working as I wanted!  I haven't yet experimented with different country settings on my BV10.

In UK the BBC keep threatening to get rid of the Red Button Text (but not video) service but concerns have been raised and they postponed the cancellation:
