Goldfrog, I thought the Apple TV was 802.11n? Mark

Bill, Thank you so much for all your help. In the other thread in which I've been also posing similar questions, I formally thanked Soundproof and JK; I should have included you, too. Thank you again for all your insights, they've helped me make a decision. As you suggested, I'm going to go BV8, BL3s, Apple TV, and HDMI. Also, if you have

Soundproof and JK (as well as everyone else), Thank you so much for being so patient with me and my redundant questions. You guys have been absolutely great. As a neophyte when it comes to this sort of stuff, I wanted to make sure that the system I'd envisioned for my family would work, and I obviously got routinely confused by some of the info

Bill, How would I split the audio out of the HDMI to port it through the AV3 inputs on the BV8 if this is the case (i.e. if the BV8's DAC only works on audio sources from AV3)? Mark

Soundproof, I hear what your saying about the BV8's speakers being good all by themselves, and from what you've said it sounds like you think the Apple TV to BV8 via HDMI is a great little set-up (i.e. it's perfect without the BL3s). However, I'm still interested in trying to use my BL3s when listening to music from the Apple TV (I won't

Bill, Thank you for your kind words as well as the input you've offered regarding this concept here and elsewhere. I'm at a point in my life where I value simplicity. Also, I love Apple computers and I love B&O hardware. I've tried to fashion a system that takes simplicity in to account and that is a wise investment in terms of equipment

Soundproof and jk1002, Thank you so much for your investigative work. If I'm reading you posts correctly, it looks like my "poor man's stereo" that forgoes a traditional receiver or a digital to analog convertor works. Do you guys feel that the Apple TV (assuming lossless audio) connected to the BV8 via HDMI with output to BL3s via

Bill, Thank you so much for your insight. "I think I can answer your question. I have an Apple TV take 2 connected by HDMI to a television. It is essentially just like a DVD player or any other source that is connected by HDMI. Alex is correct. The sound is lossless when streaming from iTunes. However when you play audio or video that is already

Hi Mark, 1. Are Scart inputs of comparable quality to component inputs? Yes, they'll feed your tv with a good signal, just remember to select RGB out from your STB. RGB is the "color space" or a connector? RGB is the color profile. You can probably choose between NTSC and RGB in your Video Signal Out settings on the STB. Without RGB, you

Soundproof, Sorry to be hitting you with questions in two threads, but thank you for the clarification and for all your insight. I sure hope that the BV8 can do good audio out from an HDMI source otherwise my idea behind designing this all digital media AV set up without a receiver is flawed. Anybody else with insight as to how the BV8 processes audio
