Not supported No — Remote Pro does not control it
Bang & Olufsen TVs run Bang & Olufsen’s own software layer, which Remote Pro cannot reach. We are not going to sell you an app that cannot do the job — here is what does.
Bang & Olufsen televisions are built on other manufacturers’ panels wrapped in B&O’s own software layer, and they are controlled through the Bang & Olufsen app. Remote Pro does not control them, and we are not going to guess at it on a £5,000 television.
How to tell: If the home screen looks like nothing you have seen on another brand — or the television is not a smart TV at all — it is running the manufacturer’s own system. No Google Play Store and no recognisable platform branding is the giveaway.
The alternative
Remote Pro cannot control this one. These are the options that actually work, best first.
Check the manufacturer’s own iPhone app first. Most brands ship a free remote app for their own smart platform, and it will always beat a third party at controlling their own television.
Look for HDMI-CEC. A soundbar, games console, Fire Stick or Chromecast plugged into the set can often control power, volume and input with its own remote, and that remote may be easier to replace.
If it is not a smart TV, it can only be controlled by infrared — and an iPhone has no infrared blaster. No app of any kind can control it, ours included. A replacement or universal IR remote is the only real fix.
Adding a Fire TV Stick, a Roku or a Chromecast with Google TV to that television gives you something Remote Pro can control, and is often the cheapest route to phone control on an older set.
The honest part
Remote Pro controls four platforms: Samsung Tizen, Fire TV, Android TV / Google TV and Roku. Everything else — including every infrared-only television — is honestly out of scope, and we say so rather than let you find out after paying.
An iPhone has no infrared blaster, so a television that is only controllable by infrared cannot be controlled by any phone app — ours or anyone else’s. We say that on every page rather than hide it in a review reply.
The Bang & Olufsen app is the official free remote for a Beovision, and on a television at that price it is the only one worth trusting.
That is what Remote Pro is for. It speaks those four platforms natively over your own WiFi — full D-pad, volume where the platform allows it, and a real iPhone keyboard for search. It will not control your Bang & Olufsen, and it will never claim to.
