If the software is as good as we hope for, maybe the new versions of Horizon and Beovision 14 will utilize the same platform.

I seriously doubt that will happen - there's a hell of a lot of integration to embed an entire OS in to the TV, including the eprom etc. Plus you can't just go and licence a brand new platform and then push it back on to old products.

Web OS on the HP Touchpad or the Palm Pre devices was brilliant! You can see nowadays many elements that Google and Apple have stolen from the system while still not working so intuitive like Web OS.

On the LG TV sets it is okay but not as fast and intuitive as it should - like on the old Palm and HP devices. But for me the system works better than the Android TV system. I'm asking myself if Google gets anything right nowadays!? The Android phones are okay but Android Wear on the watches... oh dear.

Maybe B&O acts with the Android TVs like they did while introducing Beosound Essence MK2 shortly after the MK1: They left their customers standing in the rain!

Hi,

I don't totally agree with you regarding the Essence MKI : I was 1 of the first buyers and I had an offer beginning of last year to get a free update to an essence MKII while buying any multiroom device : that's when I had ùmy first Beoplay A6.

So I don't think they totally let me down.

Speaking of rumors, has anyone heard of B&O finally offering high quality streaming? I know Deezer offers this, but it's exclusive to Sonos. If so, would that be a software update to an Essence MKII or would that require new hardware?

As I understand it, the new Bv Oled tv could bebased on  the LG E6 tv.

Here is a review of t he E6 tv.
