In some of the threads in the last couple of weeks the SW-update to come has been mentioned.

As we now know, the Avant has become some functions that the other tv's haven't got.

The update was sceduled for the 30th of april, but has been delayed.

According to the dealer I spoke to yesterday it now seems that it should arrive in the night to monday.

He also told me that we will not see all the new functions of the recent Avant software, and mentioned that the Netradio probably would not be included.

Would be nice if we could 'collect' our experiences and thoughts about this update in one thread (this one!!!).

 

I would have appreciated very much to get Netradio on my V1-32 in my study, since it is not connected to my audiomaster.

I am also looking forward to the DLNA renderer function ---- should that be part of the general update.

Deezer will be part of it, for sure. But, do we/you need it?

 

Greetings Millemissen

Really looking forward Netradio so fingers crossed here.

Got Spotify when bought BV11 so if Deezer is better why not change (spotify is great on iphone with all the features far less on tv).

Good idea!  Will there be an easily accessible list somewhere explaining what exactly the software update has added?  I personally would find that useful

i hope iťs joke from b&o, netradio as a key feature of the avant. all tv based on the new video engine should have the same functions, if not b&o will not hear their customers.

Be interesting to see how far they can push the hardware with a bit of firmware update

The internet interface could do with a zoom function on web pages

It certainly won't be part of the coming update!

I think we need to practice patience for some time, first the Avant has to make a good start, so dealers can show the additional items to new customers. it's all about sales figures don't you think? I only look forward to netradio on the update.

EDIT: I guess there is some more work to do on the update, maybe it's easy to add Deezer, but for Netradio you must have an update for owners of the ML/NL converter, because when I now choose Netradio it goes looking into my masterlink. And what to do with existing owners of Beoport in a ML/NL config. Or am I all wrong?

It is quite different what the dealers show when they demo the Avant.

At one occation a dealer focussed very much on the 'moving part' and the three 'wonder butons'.

Another one was focussing much more on the picture and the sound.

None of those two mentioned the Netradio, untill I asked the question.

And at 'my' dealer - well - we played a lot around with it ---- to discover every little detail......

---

You can assign Netradio of the Avant  to any button/command you want.

And besides the 'problem' with the NL/ML-converter (and updating that)  does already exist - now that the Avant is there.
