I have just purchased a beovision 1 TV but with no remote control. Is there another remote that I could use? Also is e bay the only place I might be able to find one? Does anyone know any other sites advertise b&o for sale?
Beovision 1
I think you'll need either the beo 1 or beo 4 remote controls.
Lifestyle AV advertised above has some beo 1 remotes for £95 http://www.lifestyle-av.co.uk/details.asp?sectionId=4&productId=1570
If your looking for an alternative brand that works then there are some difficulties, most learning remote controls will not work with with B&O equipment due to the different frequencies used but there are exceptions (from experience with a Sony RM-VZ950T and a Beosound 1 you might find it gives limited functionality though).
Hope this helps.
Hi Aaron, the Beo4 remote is one of the best items that B&O produces and i wouldn't recommend getting a different make even if it is compatible. Try looking on some popular auction websites too.
The Beovision 1 is a great looking TV isn't it🤒
I bought a Beo 1 on eBay for about £20 so keep looking as they appear a couple of times a month at far less than £95.
The functionality is very limited, hence if I were you I would get a Beo4 - I would think you are likely to expand your collection so it's pretty future proof. There's 3 Beo4s for sale now from another member here:

My B&O Icons:
The first time I used this Forum I said I was starting to get a bit addicted to B&O. Since then I have replaced my speakers with redline 60.2 s still looking for a cd 50 to go with my amp. And now I just got the TV for £30 I can't believe for that money I can buy something so stylish, great and modern looking. Thanks for your help I will keep looking.
On eBay at the moment there is a remote the seller says that it is a beovision original, but it is not the bright silver one is this correct info? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Chris , you are right I got a remote for £20 on eBay I also saw a mx 4000 hardly used with remote for £10!!!!! I couldn't resist so I now have that too. Just need to find room for it now. I am new to the b&o "scene" I don't know when it will end the wife is not the most understanding the budget is limited but I am finding some great deals. When will it end????
Early BV1's and BC1's work with the Beo 1. Later BV1's really need a Beo4. The Beo1 can, in theory, be re-programmed to operate a later BV1, but this is not always successful. (Search the archive for further info.)
