Netflix still not working in the Netherlands.

Waste of money B&O.

I have allready sold my beoplay A6 and beosound 1 because of poor wifi connectivity.

 

Since the latest FW update last week the Horizon is now 100% imo. Quicker, very stable and no blurring. Also Multiroom fully integrated in app. BV14/Horizon are now what they should be at introduction.

Regarding Netflix, much said about on this forum, is not happening due to license issues between Netflix and B&O, only available now on the LG based Eclipse.

I really enjoy my Horizon now and the android has grown on me. Hopefully the BV14/Horizon will not be end of live very shortly.

I also asked my dealer about the longevity of the Android platformed TVs given the Eclipse is WebOS.  Of course, he is going to say that the Androids are not going away any time soon otherwise he would not sell them except on a large discount (which is why I was interested 🙂), but his reasoning was believable to me.  He said that OLED is only generally available in 55 and 65 inch right now (ok, you can find >65, but it is crazy expensive - like B&O prices without the B&O), and there's no hurry to make smaller OLED tvs.  Therefore, going forward, Horizon will be the smaller TV.  Avant will be the larger.  I didn't ask about the BV14 (and I don't recall seeing one on display so maybe this doesn't speak well of the BV14, at least in the US)...  Maybe in a few years this will change as technology advances, but this seems to support the idea that they are not going away soon - even less likely if they are now basically "fixed".

That’s good news. Makes me feel a bit more comfortable pulling the trigger on an Avant NG.

Any major open issues left to be resolved?

No complaints at all since the last software update... Basic operation with the iPhone/iPad, faster start out of standby, crisp picture... 

This is what should have been the case as of launch.

Very happy with my BV14!

Good to hear such positive reports 🙂

Can one do this on a Horizon and is it presented in the same minimalistic way?

Only title song, no artist name. This is the finishing touch for the Horizon software😁

Your picture (of the Horizon) shows the infos from the playback of a BS Moment there.

Mine shows, what is displayed from a connected BS Essence playing via Spotify Connect.

(What is displayed, if you play a track of an entire album, not just a single track?)

@jincaj

I actually prefer this ‘minimalistic way’.

And the screen (my screen) turns off after a short time anyway - if I want to see these infos there again, I flip my navi button/Beo4.

For the rest my (dedicated) iPad Mini will do the job.

I took a serious look at the BV 14 and Horizon today ... I should have asked about their FirmWare levels ... I had meant to read this thread before going into the store but Michael distracted me on slack beochat with a discussion about how good his google Home mini is 😂

I have bought a Beo Horizon one month ago and I have noticed same issues... Means not all have been fixed in meantime... The TV is brilliant but it takes sometimes up to 5 minutes to start, I have to unplug it, etc. It is really annoying because we never know if it will happen each time we start it...

As well I'm not a fan of Android TV. Also suspecting it explains most of the issues noticed already and as well the content is very poor. I don't see the added value here...
