There was also an update for BL90 yesterday.
The version from 03/22 was v0.23.699

 

The latest version says v3.1.0 and was rolled out yesterday. If you have your settings on auto-update, you should have the same version.

Thanks for confirming. Yes I’m on auto update but v3.1.0 as far as I can ascertain is from April this year.

I may be wrong on this but I think 3.1.0 = BL90 firmware v0.23.699 = BeoApp control??
My Theatre arrived today following a problematic eclipse that B&O was good enough to resolve.

First problem is that the visa mount for the 55 does not  fit the LG G1 maybe LG changed the locating screws for the G2?? panel; its to short, missing the top location studs, so the guys fabricated a metal insert to allow the top screws to locate.

Setting up was seamless enough but when doing so to change the stand position it asks  to re- calibrate via the mic all over again and wont allow anything else?

The app is not that intuitive  but i suppose i will get used too it

The motorised stand now has one operating plane; not two as in the eclipse, this means the tv stays away from the wall by quite some distance, meaning its eal life movement is not that much.

I exchanged for this product as i did not want to get caught with another out of date beovision after only 6 months.

Sound wise, its very good; although im really not getting the 'surround experience' in appropriate films at all.

Matched with Lab 28 the soundstage opens up; i would not be happy with just the theatre for that reason alone as for B&O suggesting a sound 'triangle' with lab 28 at the rear; it would not work for me,one is to aware of the sound being 'in front' and the app is quirky and keeps stating its 'offline'

 

Thanks for confirming. Yes I’m on auto update but v3.1.0 as far as I can ascertain is from April this year. I may be wrong on this but I think 3.1.0 = BL90 firmware v0.23.699 = BeoApp

This is what i get: 1. Latest SW version BL90 2. Previous SW version BL90 3. Latest SW version Beo-App
 
So as a standalone it's not anything special?
~Certainly more capable as a stand alone than a stand alone Eclipse / Harmony.

For those who added extra speakers to their previous BV's,  then you'd probably want to still add extra speakers to a Theatre.   The difference with the Theatre is that you first additional extra speakers may be just rear speakers - as opposed to a first addition being front L/R with previous BV's.

 
My question is if it's worth it as a standalone all in one atmos system. From the reviews the Atmos from the Theatre hasn't been as impressive as the Sennheiser Ambeo. It sounds like it catters more to people with Beolab speakers.
