LG GX + Stage is here, some initial feedback
Good news! Have you downloaded the app yet? I think it’s in the new store now for the CX😁
It is indeed. You can now ignore my above comment! 😁
Now that the software is out to allow b&O to co-exist with LG CX/GX - time for me to follow up and see if B&O Melbourne will supply me a 55” soundcentre to plug into my 55 cx.
Interesting , the language on the B&O app on the LG store says ...”The Bang & Olufsen TV app is an application that seamlessly integrates your Bang and Olufsen Soundcenter with your LGTV allowing you to operate your system via Bang & Olufsen (service) via Beo remote one.”
I’ll need to resolve the mounting - but it allows me to continue to use my lab6000’s and have an awesome centre speaker.
fingers crossed.
And it works! B&O app on the GX, BeoRemote paired and it's controlling the GX!
That's the good news. The less good news is that it's going to take some getting used too. I'm quite used to the superb LG pointer remote.
Also, no Sky Q control at all. Which means you can't even change channels on the BeoRemote. Huge shame. You have to pick up the Sky Q remote just to change to another channel.
But, it's working! BeoRemote control over the GX + Stage.
I'm still unfamiliar with the BR integration with the Stage + LG combination, but one must ask why it does nothing with the Sky Q.
Does the LG Magic Remote control the Q box to any degree?
Do keep us posted if anything changes over coming months - as it stands, it does seem to somewhat defeat the purpose of having a BR One, especially for something as fundamental as controlling a very mainstream set top box.

Was it controllable via the LG remote?
No, not in the slightest.
Someone said on here that the Sky Q box is deliberately non-operational from another remote. Sky designed it this way. The regular Sky box is, but not the Q. Perplexingly, Sky Q does show on the LG as a controllable device, but the LG magic remote does nothing when trying to control it.
