Hi,
Well actually I did investigate but obviously mixed up composite with component (I am not too much of a techie). But, the sales guy did nothing to prove me wrong; he actually sold me a composite to scart cable "...that would just plug into the AppleTV". Not so!
In terms of BV7 specs, it seems from the B&O specifications that component should be a feature out-of-the box. However, I was a very early mover on the BV7 (Mark I) and the three component input slots in the right side are covered by a plate of black plastic. Now, I don't know what that means. I asked a dealer earlier today and he will investigate.
I have actually talked to a few B&O dealers before buying the ATV. Most dealers tell me it should be no problem to see/hear ATV content from link rooms, but nobody can tell me clearly how this should be done. Thinking the ATV was just a composite input, I thought I could figure it out myself. I could of course use the DVI input, but then I loose link-ability which for me is the whole point of having centrally stored content. (Quite few dealer don't even know that the DVI cannot be blasted to link rooms). Does anybody know is the BeoMedia distributed through Masterlink?

What cables have you used to connect the ATV via DVI? Earlier today a sales guy tried to sell me a rather expensive HDMI to DVI-D cable but I seem to remember that the BV7 will only work with DVI-I - and thus, did not buy it. He had never heard of the difference. Is that correct or will the DVI-D cable do.
The component-to-composite/scart converter you are talking about - which one is that? - and where to buy? I hope it is just a cable and not yet another power and space consuming dongle to affix to the TV to achieve basic B&O functionality - i.e. Masterlink.
Thanx for input!
