Just to keep PeterG etc updated , got the little blck box this morning from Hong Kong. Came packaged with all cables !

Works brilliantly , streaming everything - including iTunes purchases which I was led to believe wouldn't work due to Hdcp handshake issues ! Very impressed.

So another Apple / Bno triumph !

PeterG:

1. Does anyone have any good ideas for placement of the ATV on the Avant as i will have to have sight of the unit for the remote control?

Hi Peter, I think you'll be surprised re: line of sight for the remote control. I installed one for a friend and it fell behind the TV... the remote still worked! Have a try

Cal

The Avant has an update available that will allow it to control the ATV2 with the B&O remote via IR emitter. My Avant has the update but I have not yet attempted because…………..my 15 year old son is about to jail break the ATV2 which will permit us to get Amazon and Hulu.

We are going to attempt all of this during the weekend so I will post to let you know.

Thank you so much everyone for the great input and ideas. The converter I mentioned in my original post did not work as i had not realised there were different types of Scart socket for one reason....stupid!. I did try and find an equivelant to the converter mentioned by Rauber above but they all appeared to be around £160 in the places i looked in the UK.

I then contacted the company (Deluxe Cable) on the link above and they shipped one to the uk for me in just a couple of days, 54.75 Euros plus 16 euros carriage. They were very helpful and replied incredibly quickly to any of my questions, great service.

It arrived today and as soon as i connected it to my apple tv black it worked straight away. brilliant to finally have ATV on my avant. So thank you very much to everyone for their help and to Rauber for finding this solution for me. Beoworld works another friendly miracle. Thank you.

My next questions then....

1. Does anyone have any good ideas for placement of the ATV on the Avant as i will have to have sight of the unit for the remote control?

2. Is it work jailbraking and installing ATV Flash?

I look forward to the usual well thought out opinions.

Thanks for the update, Räuber

Sounds like a neat solution to be able to record like that!
Just saw a few second hand HDR's here...

Will get one of those converters and a ATV2 for either my BV3 or my AV9000..

Hello,

yesterday I received the converter and it works perfect with the ATV 2 and my Avant. Picture quality is very good, like DVD.

I have connected the converter to the camera socket on top of the Avant, because all my three scart sockets are used. This is a very good solution, because the Avant switches automaticly to the camera socket, when I start the ATV with the remote app of my IPod touch.

The converter allows recordings from rented movies with my DVD2. I have only press LIST/RECORD2 on my Beo4. After recording I can burn the movies on a DVD.

I am very happy with this solution, thank you very much for the information, dear tgt365!

Regards

Räuber

Raeuber:
@tgt365,

Did you test your converter at the camera socket on top of your Avant?

/Räuber

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, the ATV2 the converter plays perfectly through the sockets on back of the Close Up Operation panel.

But if I only want to connect the HDMI converter to the camera connection like a camcorder or an IPod, I think it should work (of course without PUC control).

Therefore I asked tgt365 to test this.

With the Avant RF you can also use the Camcorder connection for STB, but I don't think it is possible with the 84/00.....
