I hope you're not meaning me 🙂. I do think B&O is an amazing brand however, and that they produce very unique products. And like you I have a lot of B&O products and many different models have passed through my home and interest through the years. I like B&O very much and while the HDR question is interesting (I want an explanation from B&O) there's still more to discuss. Like the menu system. Is it new? Or is it the same? Is the Google system a source like the old smart tv system? From what I gather from their webpage both the old smart tv system and the new is available. The menu system (OSD) is something I want to hear more about. And also the new remote which looks logical. The volume and program buttons seems to be bent now so it's large buttons instead of two flat Long ones.There are one or two - note one or two only - on here who say that anything B&O does is "amazing", but most of us are far more critical than we used to be and rightly so. I might come across as negative, but I'm sitting surrounded by B&O kit: BV12-65, BV11, BL18s, BL20, BL3s, A1, A9, A8, etc etc. I'm a core customer. You can't say I've not supported the brand :)

New tv bv14

Hi all, Just a few questions :- Will the new Beo remote One be available for BV11s or only for BV14 ? - Do you know whether BV11s will be updated with the new Android smart TV too ? Following the debate, I can say that I have never purchased a beovision only for format reasons. The TV market moves just too quickly. I certainly won't upgrade from latest BV11 to BV14 just because it supports 4K- with HDR or not. This might make more sense for my father who has a BV7, but the BV14 will get upgraded in the following months. Overall, I have learnt with BO, one is better-off with a latest generation recent product than with a first generation newest product. I might consider upgrading my TV set when (if) BO launches a TV with 1/ an entirely new screen technology other than LCD, 2/ a design I don't already own and that strikes me at the first sight. While I welcome the fact that BO kept the BV11's design in their production line (😍), I'm a little worried that their design department have been resting on their laurels recently- and what to think of these wooden frets, again ? People who occur to have recent-BO-product-based rooms like me will end up living in a cabin soon! 😁 more seriously, I think this shows a bit of laziness on their part, which I'm quite concerned about...
I may be one of those lolI suspect many B&O owners are capable of an impulse buy.
Well said, I agree with you, I also wondering the same :-)
And why doesn't BV Avant Home Media support Apple Lossless when A6 does?
Yes, I am also very interested in the user interface and user interaction in this new BV. Is the Android platform only noticeable as an alternate for the Webtv source and 3rd party apps?And another question is if the BeoSystem 4 soundprocessing is build in like I think in the Avant...... there's still more to discuss. Like the menu system. Is it new? Or is it the same? Is the Google system a source like the old smart tv system? From what I gather from their webpage both the old smart tv system and the new is available. The menu system (OSD) is something I want to hear more about. And also the new remote which looks logical. The volume and program buttons seems to be bent now so it's large buttons instead of two flat Long ones.
Apparently, according to the recordere review of Horizon the interface is android (which I believe then is quite cluttered unfortunately).
So the current models is probably preferable in that sense to the new ones.
And one other thing I noticed. Just look how off center the new house-icon for the android interface is placed on the remote. (And thanks B&O for removing the super unnecessary TEXT-button and moving the LIST to a better spot!).
The house is off center, but it is definitely in line with the numbers in that column, which are also off center (same thing on the left).

does the "house" button pull up Home Control?
Also, I'm assuming these remotes can be programmed for non BlueTooth? I.E. current Avant, 11? etc?
Lastly, can you bluetooth pair this remote with an a6?
Yes but the other buttons with text is centered so it looks a bit peculiar I think.The house is off center, but it is definitely in line with the numbers in that column, which are also off center (same thing on the left). -- Tuomas
By the way, is the new remote rechargeable and how does Bluetooth impact on battery life?
