Eclipse network question

15 replies

I recently had some work done on my Eclipse, and now I notice that both the sound center and the LG screen are connected to my wifi?  Is this correct? 

I don't remember there being two Eclipse devices on my network in the past, but I can't say that there wasn't.

I'm asking because it seems like my bandwidth for the TV apps (Netflix, Youtube) is limited.  Then again, it might just be my provider...

Thanks,

Stan

You need to disable the screen sharing features in the menus in order to get a good network performance. This menu is located in one of the WebOS apps at the bottom of the screen when you press the HOME key in the remote. Probably the TV settings were reset to default when the repair was made.

The LG screen and the Sound Center are both connected to the network under different IP addresses, so this is correct.

Regards,

Jean

Do you know what same issue in the last week.

My bandwidth for Netflix and other streaming services in this TV have gone mad.

I could be watching Netflix at 4K then 260, then 480 and it changed all over the place.

Both devices appear on the network.

I don’t know it’s my provider but o have BT here today checking the line as my laptop has had some slow loading issues also.

Scary as I cannot pinpoint it.

I hope there was not an update affecting the WiFi drivers of the TV making its internet very slow.

LG And wifi is a very known problem,

That is one of the reason I only use the Apple TV.

Not on my 2020 GX it isn't. I've not had a single one of these issues and use the built in Apple TV, Netflix and Prime apps.

Please don't label the entire TV range as problematic. Perhaps older LG TVs. The Eclipse has a 2017 panel, which means the processor is from 2017 and 4K processing and so on. I told you this is one of the many reasons I wouldn't buy an Eclipse. It's like buying a 2017 MacBook Pro for future use and then wondering why it stutters editing 4K video etc.

Hi

Just to confirm my connection was fixed by BT today and all is working fine on the TV apps.

 

Thanks for the replies.  Here's my update.

I dropped and recreated the wifi connection and all is well.  I did not disable screen sharing because I do this once in a while.

To the other comments, I've had this TV for ~3 years, and this was the first time I've had any wifi issues (aside from it occasionally forgetting it's connection details - maybe 5 times over the 3 years) that I couldn't trace to my service provider.  Yes, I watch 4k on Netflix and Amazon.

Really? The A9 processor is an upgraded OLED dedicated processor, with 4 step noise reduction versus 2 step in A7 (Eclipse/C7), HFR support, image identification and blur stabilisation.  Those are the key changes.
Have to say its funny: When Avant and Eclipse first arrived, I kept reading on this board that the BV10-65, with a picture processor from 2005 (BS3) was just as good or better than the the 4K picture and sound coming from a BeoSystem 4 based system and then even the Eclipse. Now that a TV with an extra 2 cores of graphic processing and 3 minor extra capabilities arrive, it makes the Eclipse obsolete.  Man!!!! Also, lets not forget the GX has no B&O Stand or luxury/tightly integrated sound system.

You and your Eclipse. You're determined to convince yourself it's the best possible purchase you've ever made. Some of the things you say are ridiculous. In another thread you're trying to convince yourself a panel designed in 2016 is 'better' than the one in the Eclipse v2.

As I said, multiple times, if the Eclipse was more value for money, I'd have bought one. I'm not spending over £8K on a 2017 panel, when I can buy two wall-mounted GX's, 55" and 65", both with a Stage, and BeoRemote, and still have money left.

And I'd rather have my GX 65" flush and wall-mounted than taking a HUGE space in the corner of my living room. I've had motorised stands powering all kinds of B&O products from a BV7 through to the Avant and rarely ever used the thing. I perhaps turn the TV a few CMs. Never needed to turn it 90 degrees or any position where a motorised floor stand from a distance is genuinely useful. It's a gimmick for me. It's there - in all it's chromed 90's design glory - for us to show to our friends what our mega-expensive B&O TV can do from our sofa. "Hey guys, can your TV do this? This is why I spend £10K on a TV when you must think I have more money than sense!".

Mine is, FACT for me at least.
