For temporarily use I picked up a BeoVision 4-50 yesterday (720p HD Ready Version).

It came with a Beosystem 1.
I never knew this was sold in Europe as well (s. Details on Beoworld

The Beosytem 1 is a worthless piece of garbage, in my opinion. You're lucky if you might get $200 to $300 for it. The BeoSystem 1 can only output 480p OR 1080i. It can't even output at 720p - which makes it useless for current Apple TVs. Why B&O failed to support 720p with it is a mystery to me.

You could easily replace the BeoSystem 1 with a BeoSystem 3 and find a tremendous improvement with the BeoVision 4.

HD device is connected to Beovision 4 so what the BeoSystem

supports as resolution is not important. I could add another card in the Beovision 4 slot and use a second HD input.

BeoSystem 1 works as speaker switch and PUC controller only.

Sure BeoSystem 3/4 are superior.

No idea about Apple TV, we don‘t have any. Strange that these don‘t support 1080i. But as written above, this does not matter.
