anyone used either?

I'm thinking of Archos at the moment through a BV8 linked to BL6000's.

not too bothered about streaming. However does anyone know if you can use the Archos remote whilst the main unit is hidden away?

Sorry, no idea - but I suggest to take  a look at the Popcorn Hour. This should be in the PUC list.

Do you mean that Apple TV can be controlled through the BV using Beo4 /5 ?

If thats the case, then its a no brainer

Yes, ATV can be controlled by Beo4/5. I have a similar set-up to what you are considering: BV8, ATV, Tivo, BL3s. Everything is controlled through a Beo4 via the BV8 ir blasters and all boxes are hidden from view. Very clean.

Hello B&O in Denmark. Obviously you are not advertising the merits of the STB concept enough.
