Big question - can I use a Beo4 w.navi with the Avant? The userguide says nothing about this.

I was told the Avant requires the BeoRemote One.

Also, the BeoRemote One will become the standard remote.

I'll have to give that a try next time I am in a shop.

They both use the same codes.

Probably some functions aren't possible, but then it would depend on whether you need/use these functions or not.

And I have 'lots of' Beo4's in my house anyway - I don't intend to throw them away.

Not much sense in changing the PUC's for pre-BSys4 tv's in order to get the INFO/GUDE buttons working.

Who wants to pay a BO technician to come for changing the PUCs (that is too expensive, imo).

All of the video products that are based on the Video Engine will receive an update to support the new PUC system that amongst other things supports the INFO and GUIDE buttons. Those new PUCs are available online, so no need to have a technician come over (ideally).

Double post

That is great news.

But if those and the BeOne will be supported on pre-BSys4 devices, you would still have to have someone coming to do the PUC-update manually.

I don't think they do.  In the shop I was the guy was controlling the Avant from far and no other TV were reacting.

I don't like a situation, where I'll have to have different remotes in my house.

It is hard enough to 'teach' my wife to use one (the Beo4) 👍

That is because you can configure the One to react so!

Why? Possibility for downloading PUC files from BeoPortal has been introduced with BeoPlay V1 and runs through BV11, BSys4 and now Avant.
You probably mean Pre-Video Engine products (of which the last ones were BV10 and BSys3). These (to my knowledge) won't get a software update and won't support the new BeoRemote One buttons.

I wrote pre-BSys4 - and that is what I meant!!!

It was part of the discussion, if the new PUC's could be used on those devices - and in this way benefit from some of the new buttons.

You say, that they can't.

That ends the discussion, and - as I wrote - probably no one would update them anyway...because of the costs.

Updating the One?  I asked my dealer, but he did not know.

Of cource the BeOne can be updated - if they can upload the current software to it, they can also upload a new one, if needed.

It depends if the software in on a ROM or Flash/EpROM chip. An old fashion ROM can't be programmed. It also depends if the hardware allows it (it would some kind of connector to connect to a PC).

The reason I was asking is because if I get one of the early model, and the software is buggy...
