I recently had my Beosystem 1 and Avant sofware updated to code converter database version 4.7j. The new update adds "Apple Remote" as an option under "External Sources." There is no fast-scrolling. Otherwise, the control via Beo4 is excellent. While B&O has advised that the "Apple Remote" option is intended only for controlling the Apple TV via 480p or 1080i component input, I've found that it will also provide excellent control of front row on a mac mini connected to the Beosystem 1. The Beosystem 1 first looks for a video signal over the component input. If no such signal is found, it will display the s-video or composite signal.

 4.7j also provides control of Sony, Samsung and Panasonic Blu-Ray players and Toshiba HD DVD players. For most of these devices, B&O provides the clever solution of using the Beo4 arrow buttons for fast-forward, rewind, chapter up, and chapter down by pushing the green button first to put the Beo4 into "Transport Mode" or pushing the red button to put the Beo4 into "Menu" mode to navigate the BD/HD DVD menus with the arrow buttons.
