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.

Indeed.. Correct... but.. It's only related to smartTVs (

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.

I wondered whether it has nothing to do with licensing but with the actual version of NF

I would be interested to see if there is an older version of NF available that works when android 5.0 was out and if you can install it via USB

When I tried NF on my 14 the code was this version is not supported (I think that’s what it said)

Markandsaz I also use the Apple TV

Does your Apple TV remain signed in under NF? Mine seems to always not log out but I always have to press my login (I have two on my account). Whereas in my Sony my login is always logged in.
