Hey thank you for all of this. I will email them and ask them if it is possible... because we intend to use Apple TV more than the DVD player and this seems like a really good feature. I'll also ask for some cable sock.

Hi Luke,

The ir cable should come with the TV, the dealer should throw in a piece of cable sock for you.

It will take the dealer very little effort to put in the puc code for the Bvis 8 to operate the apple please get them to do it as it works brilliantly!!

Good luck

I guess I will buy one of those cables and get the software updated since the cable did not come with the TV.

Also.. was one of those cable socks supposed to come with the TV or is that also an optional purchase ??

The Beo 4 itself uses a IR frequency that the ATV doe snot support.

2 options should:

- There is a STB controller available that simulates the Apple Remote. You would need to connect an IR Blaster cable from the TV to the ATV. This is how that is running with my BV832 US version that I have for a year or so.

- The other option that I suspect works as was stated above should work too as the IR Blaster supports a frequency that the ATV supports. Again you need to connect an IR Blaster Cable from the TV to the ATV.

The TV should have had one included.

Personally even though I have option 1 running I will try the 2nd at some point as some things will not work with the B&O ATV implementation. I.e. holding the "Go" key down.

Cheers

Here is a link to a thread that explains a little more about how I got the Apple TV to learn the Beo 4 commands.

I was able to use the learning function Apple to TV to get our BV7 to control Apple TV without having the software update. I had to try a couple different different listed products. The first one I tried would not work at all. The second one I tried worked.

You'll need an IR-blaster cable (often called PUC controller cables). Minijack plug on one end, and a tiny little dark maroon IR-blaster on the other end with an adhesive face to stick to the front of the Apple TV.

The TV will probably need a PUC table to be created too (done with the service tool mkII). To see if it does, tell the TV the aTV is a STB box, and the TV should bring up a list of controllable devices when you press GO. If Apple TV is anywhere on the list, then you're fine, you just need the cable...

I just got told that B&O told us that you need some cable in order for this to work ??

I missed most of what the guy was saying. I don't speak his dialect.

How do I get the software updated and how do I get into expert mode??

A bit annoying because I did tell them that I had an Apple TV and I wanted to control it with the remote.

Other than that it really is a great TV. The speaker really blows the other thing we had in the bedroom away.

BeoSystem 3, BV7-32 are ok, cause they got different chassis.

From the factory BV8 doesn't come with Apple on the STB list. Software needs to be updated.

In Software Tool Kit MKII there is a few Apple: remote, tv, etc, but you have to go to Expert Mode and choose Apple Australia. If you get only Apple remote, won't work easly.

It should be. I've got my Avant and BS3 controlling an ATV with fast scrolling and everything. There were issues with some older software but I believe this has all been resolved.
