Re: Can't connect Beo4 to AppleTV

It works on my BV8 including fast scroll and forward/backward. Some of the sources are not linked to an IR control port.

I have mine under TV, HDMI Yes, STB Ipod Remote. It worked under DTV as well. I believe it can even work with a paired remote as long as you pair it with the IR plug that is attached to the cable. I think most ATVs ship with an unpaired remote ayway.

Cheers

Beo serviceman was here again - this time also the iPod Remote software was installed, but still it is not possible to control the AppleTV with Beo4. Those of you that succeded must have done something very special. Could there be differences in BV7-40 Mark III in US versus Europe that could explain these problems?

I fully agree

"Connecting AppleTV to BeoVision 7-40 Mk3 for Dummies" is precisely what I am after right now.

After all ... connecting the TV to a Humax HDTV STB was no problem ... but the AppleTV - no way.

How hard can it be???

With my Avant and Apple TV, I found that I could not use the "V.Aux" command (if connected to the V.Aux input) on the Beo4 but rather had to use the "TV" button on the Beo4 to toggle to the Apple TV connection. Granted, this is a Beosystem 1 based system rather than a Beosystem 3 based system -- still I thought it might be of some help.

Hi Alex,

How is (was) your BV7-40 Mk3 connected to the AppleTV? My dealer and myself are still having problems and it's unsolved. Apparently many users are struggling with this problem, despite the stb list of "Apple Remote", "iPod Dock" and "iPod Remote" in the stb list.

Could you please give a detailed list to "Connecting AppleTV to BeoVision 7-40 Mk3 for Dummies" so we can use our Beo4 and Beo5 to control the ATV

Input very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance Alex

Have you made certain to 'unpair' the Apple TV and it's included remote?

I've had the same problem with an Apple TV for months ... fortunately the customer also purchased a BeoMedia so it wasn't all that important at the time. Now Post-Macworld-Keynote it's certainly an issue that I need to resolve.

The weird thing about my installation is that I have a BV7MKIII originally connected to and controlling the Apple TV. That unit was replaced with a BeoSystem 3 and BV4 65" shortly afterwards and thats when the controls in the PUC controller just stopped working!

I'm going to do a little bit of experimenting and I'll post my results!

Well - I have read the entire thread

These are my settings:

AV5 (and the IR Remote Controll Cable is plugged into the corresponding PUC)

Source PC

Automatic selection Yes

HDMI A

And the "Stb controller software" or whatever the name is for it is called "Apple Appleremote"

Is there anything else that I should be aware of?

Hi M,

please re-read the entire thread.

Including my (accidental) double-post.

OK ... so lets take up this discussion again. The AppleTV got a gret boost at MacWorld - especially if you live in the states - and I guess that there should be quite a few Beoworlders interesting in controlling it with a B&O remote. For quite some time this has been claimed possible (if you have the Beosystem3 - separate or built into your TV). I got hte Apple Remote software update but it does not work. I'd be very happy if anyone could provide som info on this. Afterall - if beo produces a "STB-controller" named Apple Remote ... they must have tested it at some stage ;-)

Please share your knowhow!
