Hi,

On Monday, I became the lucky owner of the first BV7-55 in Germany - I got to tell you that the picture on that TV through a SKY HD box is just incredible. Yesterday, watching the final rounds of the group stages in Champions League in HD was like being present at the stadiums .

However, I have my AppleTV connected through the PUC (Apple Remote) and it works very well except when I turn off my system. In the TV the AppleTV is set-up to go on standby with the system, but nothing happens when I switch off the system ?

Does anybody have similar issue and a workaround for it or is it a known bug ?

Thanks

I have the same problem with our BV7 MKIII and Apple TV. I have the additional problem that even if Apple TV is in stand by, turning another source on or off turns the Apple TV back on. My solution was to assign a different device to the Apple TV in the menu. Then use the remote learning function of the Apple TV to learn those commands. It now turns on only when I want it to. To turn it to standby I use the Apple TV settings menu.

I will for sure do so when it is probably setup (very soon).

But I can confirm that the Cinematic experience is very real and the sound is perfect (kept my BL7-4 from my BV7-40).
