I have now a new software version on my BV14-55. It is a service software that you can request from your dealer.

It will be public in december.

Does your dealer have to install in manually (USB?) on the TV?

No B&O send out the SW via internet direct to your BV14!

Same here, before BV 11, now BV 14-55 and ssing it for a week now :

* Android system crash every day

* PUC control for the Dune Solo 4K does not work correct :
- have to select the Dune 2 or 3 times before it wakes up (NO SIGNAL)
- after switching to cable tv setup box, the Dune goes in stand by mode (even though I selected only to go in standby if I turn tv off)

- selecting cabl tv setup box, message NO SIGNAL (even though blanking range wider/lower set)

- If you change settings it does not always apply.
- If you store a Mybutton, it does not work correct

 

* Light control is very clumsy : because the Beoreomote is now BT and the light is IR, you have to do many switches in the Beoremote to control the light, and after that you have to do the entire process again backward to control the tv again...

I understand that the updated software (that was due for November) for the BV14 and Horizon will be distributed in week 51, which is very late in my opinion given all the bugs in the present version.

Just sent over the following bug report to BeoCare (current software: mid October 2016 version) and requested a SW update.

---------------------------------------------------

- startup of the tv is looooong (35sec)

- when BV14 is off and selecting my Telenet set-top box on the remote then the BV is started with the last device playing (could be the Apple TV); automatically switching to the selected device 10sec later;  (so basicly being able to watch the intended programme after around 50sec)

- the Android part crashes at random every couple of days (see pictures)

- the NetFlix app downloaded from the GooglePlay store works sometimes ("Your device is not compatible. -13"), turning the TV off and back on resolved the problem.

- No Signal status bar remains sometimes onscreen even though the settop box or Apple TV is playing.

- Possibility to add the downloaded apps to the remote? (Spotify? YouTube? Netflix?)

 

I have 2 audio profiles:

- Startup (config: BL8000's & BL11 & interne speakers active): Dolby : no problems

- Audio  (config: BL8000 & BL11 active, internal speakers turned off) for radio & iTunes music. The BL11 does not play, even though it is active (green LED); internal speakers keep on playing. When re-configuring the Audio profile the BL11 kicks in and the internal speakers mute. When turning the TV off and back on the settings remain, but BL11 does not play, internal speakers are playing again.

(I'm in the situation now that my trusty BeoSound Ouverture sounded better when playing music than my BV14.

So.. some bugs need to be ironed out. And I would be more than helpful in testing your pre-release software!

Still happy karel with your BV14?

After the manual adjustment of the speakers in audio mode: YES.

Can't complain about the picture quality, build quality, remote. 4K is joy to view (streaming)... Just curious what 4K looks like when connecting a dedicated 4K BluRay player... But that's something for Xmass :-)

Today I have been offered een "in between" update as well. This should solve a few of the current bugs.

Anyone else also using light control and BV14 ?

The sw update wich shall come week 51 is postponed to Januari.

AND Multiroom is not coming in Januari either:-(

When I bought it they said November....
