Just curios, do they ever plan on updating the android version on these ng’s???

So sad.... B&O is not the same anymore🙁

Don't count in it... I have a feeling that the hardware in the BV14/Avant doesn't support the newer Android versions.

And if the hardware would support such an update I doubt if B&O would dare to make an update to a newer Android version given the various software issues it had (or still has...).

I think what we have got is what we have got.

I was interested to see that there was a software update during the week. But I’d love to know what it was ? Maybe it was just things like apps.
Since latest update I experience problems with the BT Beo one remote losing connection. Reboot both remote and TV fixes it. After a day or so the problem reoccur.Anyone else experiences this?

From the software update, no real improvements noticeable, picture seems somewhat sharper and menu reaction little better. Main issue still is the random slowness of the system OS, the Android platform is just rubbish from performance side, the UI itself is something I started to like and the old OS feels outdated at this time. Maybe in the end the Eclipse will be the best way forward.

For now, I do not understand that B&O is still selling the Horizon with the software issues still not completely solved and with so much time between the needed updates and improvements. There was a lot of progress last year with the updates, but now they just looking away.

The only issue I have is when I turn on the TV (should also start the Apple TV) half of the TV is green since the update.

If I press TV Apple TV then that fixes it.

I might have to reset the whole TV which is very odd to me.

I wonder if the software update was pushed out by b and o or android.

I have my TV button set to turn on the Apple TV and most times it signs out of Netflix. My Sony tv keeps all of this. When I start then Netflix it makes a noise like it’s starting house of cards and I’m not even playing that.

I wonder if it has something to do with the puc control maybe not turning the Apple TV off at TV standby which it should do.

I like the android interface. I would prefer it if you could move the “shelves”

I don’t think mine is that sluggish but I mainly use Apple TV interface solely because of Netflix.

The Netflix app does not work on the BV14 - well mine anyway
