• Have you noticed anything else that's different?

In the 'source' menu you could choose to hide the inputs not needed/used.

Now you can activate/deactivate them individually through a new menu.

Would have been nice, if we could have a 'move' function - just like in the 'List' on the Beo4 - in order to place the most used inputs as the first items.

The (HDMI) inputs now also shows the number of the HDMI-port after the name, you have choosen for it.

I haven't figured out how to (or if you can) get rid of that?

There are now some pics in the 'source setup menu' that shows how to setup the ir-connection with the choosen external device.

Switch-on time for the BV11 seems to be faster, although I can't be certain because I did not time it before!

Hit the Beo4 TV button, and the TV moves on the hinge fairly quickly, with the new B&O name waving bright and dim across the centre of the screen. Stand stops, screen goes black, curtains open. Also I haven't noticed the programme name appearing immediately in the top strip... you now need to prompt it to come up using the joystick toggle.

My V1 takes less than 8-10 seconds to turn on - after I have activated the 'quicktimer'.

I never see the 'splash-screen' anymore.

That might be the case, but you are also using about 35W in Standby instead of <1W, or with the current electrical prices and 19 Standby hours a day that equals to about 65€ (500kr) per year.

What's 65 euro compared to all the money we are spending on B&O gear. ;):D

Having examined and played with the software update, I'm impressed!

The tweaks to the menu user interface and, for example, EPG in this update are welcome and bring a "polished" feel to using Beovision 11. Another nice touch is that when selecting speakers connected to the TV, if "Help" is displayed, you see illustrations of the speakers when browsing the list. 

The DLNA App that Flappo recommended (TV Assist) for iOS is superb, for all kinds of content – no matter where the content is located (on your phone, in the cloud, on a media server, on Facebook, Instagram, etc). The App brings content sources really nicely together!

I like the way the DLNA renderer works: no matter what source you are watching on TV, as soon as you start streaming photos, videos or music from your i-Device, it takes priority and appears on the screen. Nice & handy – no need to first switch the source to HOMEMEDIA. Using the Beovision's DLNA is more straightforward than using Airplay via Apple TV.

I noticed that with PLEX Media Server on my computer, it's really handy to select movies from the server using iPhone & the TV Assist App, and view them on TV. Movies of course stream from the PLEX media server itself, so no need to have the movies on iPhone/iPad, etc. Throw in "PolyMote" for iPhone, the 2-way remote control App made exclusively for Wi-Fi enabled Beovisions, and it's easy to control the whole Beovision setup with all connected devices using only the iPhone.

Off-topic, but handy:

For those who might try PolyMote, remember to swipe the arrow buttons (navigation buttons) on the App to the direction of the arrows. Clicking the arrows result in a Select/OK press. Before I realized that swipe was needed, the App seemed rather useless. Once I figured out how the arrows work, navigating menus, channel lists, EPG, etc became a breeze with PolyMote. This was the only "learning curve" with the App – otherwise it's completely setup-free and I find using iPhone more convenient than iPad with B&O's own remote control software. iPhone fits in the hand, and PolyMote's look and feel is completely "B&O" by design, especially with its latest version.

Back on topic: support for BeoRemote One has arrived!

At least for Beovision 11, under SETUP -> PRODUCT INTEGRATION -> REMOTE CONTROL there is now the option to choose between "BEOREMOTE ONE" and "Beo4, Beo5/6". This suggests that the TV is now ready for BeoRemote One's button layout and perhaps even the MyButtons functions.

This maybe "pseudo", but I could swear the picture on BV11 got a little bit better as well. Examining the update further, under Customer Sevice Menu -> SW VERSIONS, there is now a separate video engine software version for FHD (Full HD) and UHD, so it might be that B&O have made improvements to the FHD picture algorithms...

A nice update!

A lot for the planet !

That is a matter of priority!

I could easily figure out other situations where one might save a loooot more energy!

Well - the quicktimer of my V1-32" is on 13 hours per day.

Where did you get the 35 watts from.

Since I got my V1 I watch at least one hour less on my 'big screen' in the livingroom - so actually I save energy 😁

@KMA (and/or Flappo) - how about the in-app purchases of the TV Assist app?

Are they needed - what do they bring (extra)?
