Apple TV - What PUC Software Version does Fast Scrolling

21 replies

1 or 2 users reported that they had success with the Apple TV and fast scrolling. I think with BV7 MK3, the BS 3 version.

 

Does someone know the PUC/STB version name? I looked at BV8 today and it had only Ipod Dock and Apple remote. I am pretty sure that these 2 do not support the fast scrolling in Apple TV or Frontrow.

 

Thanks

I'm one of the lucky few that had success.

Indeed it's with a BV7 MK3.

Here's the stuff I get from the Customer Service Menu under SW VER. Looks like the STB PUC version is called 05.02b. And the entry is called "iPod Remote".

H8 SW: 03.50a
H8 BOOTLOADER: 01.10a
IOP SW: 23.00a
M2 SW: 03.10a
STAT DISP SW: 02.00a
M2 STB TABLE: 05.02b
PW STB TABLE: 05.02b
DSM DSP SW: 03.00a
DSM FEP SW: 03.10a
DVD FEP SW: 01.10a
AVS FEP SW: 03.10a
DVE FEP SW: 03.40a
PW SW: 03.70a
PW BOOTLOADER: 01.00a
DVE FPGA SW: 02.50a
PIN FEP SW: 01.30a 

Hi,

 

thanks. And the Beo4 reallly behaves the same as the Apple Remote? In regards to usability, there is no difference? Compared to Apple Remote you would not improved a thing? 

 

Thanks

This is a great thread, and I have what is hopefully a simple questionn to you.  It sure does blow MY mind.  My client has an Apple TV.  He is buying a B&O system and will integrate the Apple TV.  If I hook up the Apple TV to BeoSystem 3, will it connect wireless to his Mac and play on his BeoVision?  What will I call it on the remote?  Are there any caveats to good performance?  Thanks for your response, Ray.

Yes, Beo4 behaves the same as the Apple Remote. The only difference is the mapping. You don't use the MENU button on the Beo4, but the EXIT when you want to go back a menu.

2 things could be improved:

- the BV7 doesn't shut down the AppleTV although I have set up the BV7 to do so.

- fast forwarding Music skips the running song, then fast forwards. Probably has to do with the way the Beo4 acts when you press and hold the >> button (Beo4 will first send RIGHT, then RIGHT LONG IR code).

Fast forwarding music is not a big deal for me; I never do that. I'd rather have the shutdown fixed.

Symmes: I know other people weren't able to get the BV7 - AppleTV combination to work (PUC Software wise). Looks like there's some different versions of PUC software out there that works and doesn't work.

As for your wireless question; yes, ofcourse the AppleTV can connect wireless. Standard out-of-the-box.

With the BV7 I can put it under various buttons on the remote; used to put it under "PC", but now have the AppleTV under V.MEM. Keeps me from having to press LIST first.

And with regards to performance. I don't really understand what you're asking there. 

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

kjeld2,

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

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

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.
