Hello all, forgive the basic / novice questions. I have placed an order for a new Beosystem 3, Bel lab 10, Beovision 4, Samsung Projector and Stewart screen. A large order for me. I will also be ading a Playstation 3 or Panasonic BW 500 Blu Ray recorder to this. I am now wondering if I should also get an Apple TV as I have an Itunes account. I also have a 15" Powerbook and Apple airport expres wireless system.
Q1: Does the Apple TV connect to the BS 3 via HDMI ?
Q2: If I do this will I be able to use the Beo4 and Beo 5 to control the Apple TV displaying its output on my BV 4 screen ?
Q3: am I able to download video content in high definition and play back on the BV4 via the BS3 ?
Your help is much appreciated ? Thanks
Peter

Have you got any other speakers with that? The BeoLab 10 can't really be used by itself...

And the answer to all your questions is yes, although the third one will vary depending on the speed of your internet. It takes me about 8 days to download a full HD movie on my Apple TV, but at a friend's house not 7 miles away, it takes about 20 minutes.

Would you mind posting your softwareversion of the STB / TV.

Since BV9 is BS3 based as is BV7 we might get lucky.

I think basic control like up down left right might be possible. With BV7 MKIII there was a new STB controller introduced and I am guessing you will need that one.
Besides Kjeld, nobody really managed to get teh fast scrolling work and without it's not really useable.

Fast scrolling works!!!!

I have BV9 and tested a Apple TV and use "Apple TV Australia" in PUClist and it works 100%

So I searched some more. I think the anwser for the Apple TV is above. They had a working version, but current version does not. And kjeld is one lucky guy.

STB for BV7 MK3 and BV8 is the same, same update software (service tool mk2) should be used so there is hope that we get this some time soon.

Knows anyone here if Apple TV can send out picture from HDMI and Component at the same time?

What I mean if you can call up picture in Linkroom via component even if it is connected with HMDI to my BV9 and component

kjeld2,

Thanks for your helpful reply. My question about good performance was referring to "tweaks". Sorry for the confusion. Ray

Thanks Kjeld,

I think I am pretty much settled on adding a BV8 with BC2 to my living room. I send a note to the B&O customer service to confirm the Apple TV question for the Bv8, will post an update here once I hear from them.

Cheers
