Beo4 to iMac/AppleTV

Hello.

We have a beo vision and using beo4 remote controls and are about to buy either an appleTV or an miniMac to connect to the system.

All the devices (sat decoder, DVD player etc) are hidden in a room behind the wall where the beo vision is mounted so we dont see any of those devices.

I know it's possible to control the appleTV (and possibly Front Row or Plex on the miniMac) using a beo remote control via beo codes 4.

I was wondering how this happens... like is there a cable sending the IR signals received from the beovision to the appleTV? How does the beo4 remote control communicate with the appleTV? Do I need to put the appleTV IR receiver visible to the beo4 remote ?

I really hope there's a way I can control the appleTV or FrontRow on the miniMac via the beo4 remote control without having any device other than the beovision visible ! :)

Many thanks,
