Hi, just wondering if the Eclipse is having any software problems or is it completely stable?

I’m considering an Eclipse but after the Android experience with my Horizon I’m a bit reluctant.

Thanks for any guidance.

My Eclpise works fine. But as every ”computerbased” electronics needs to be reboot sometimes!

Hav had my Eclipse since they first came out, and it had to be rebooted once in a while the first 6-12 months I had it. Now I can't remember when I rebooted it the last time. 

So no instabilities in my experience. Enjoy it every day. 

Thanks guys, sounds good

Hi, I agree. No sw issues. It is 99,99% perfect. It is even better with the sw than my old reliable BV 7-55 mk2.

I strongly recommend the Tv.

I received my Eclipse last week and I found a very interesting feature that, to my knowledge, was never mentioned in the forum.

If you use the Bang & Olufsen application to control the Eclipse, the third screen implements the "magic remote" feature (cursor and scrolling). When the Eclipse was released, a number of people complained about the lack of this feature that is provided in LG TVs with their "magic remote".

The light gray portion at the left is a trackpad that works exactly like the one of a laptop. When you touch it, a cursor appears on the TV screen and you can select items with a small tap on the phone screen. The narrow dark band at right can be used for scrolling in menus, etc.

Enjoy,

Jean

I finally ordered the Eclipse and wondering if I should install the ATV 4K on it. The Netflix and Amazon apps can be installed directly on the Eclipse and it will be hard wired so no streaming issues. No airplay usage, all NL based in my setup.

Do you see an additional need for using the ATV?

Thanks.
If you have movies / TV series purchased from Apple, then it's still of some use. And of course if you use their photo library etc.

Quite a few reviews also say that HDR (DV) content delivered by Apple through the Apple TV is the best quality.

But if none of the above matters very much to you, then no, it's not necessary at all.
I use it because on ATV there is Adobe Lightroom app. It allows me to show my photo’s from Lightroom library.

Oooh, I didn't know that.

I do like Lightroom - will try the ATV app!
