beovision 7 and virgin v6 box

Haha, we were busy typing at the same time. So glad you got it working! Do you have any other Digital tuner connected to watch TV, because if not you should be able to set the connections to scart 1, connect you Virgin box and use the DTV button so you don't need to use the LIST DVD2.

You could then use the LIST V.AUX for your Apple TV.

that all makes sense now!. what was confusing me is that in the connections menu it refers to av1,2,3 etc  but the extra " buttons " to add into beo4  have cmpletely different names like DVD2, STB etc etc 

strangely it only works with the v6 box plugged into av2 ( av1 i only get sound and no picture ) and av 2 socket set to dvd2 on beo4.  iv got picture and sound and iv set beo4 so that the 1st button which appears in list is dvd2. 

its not perfect, but it works and it ll do for now! 

thanks once again for all your help and replies! 

yes we were and still are typing at the same time! 

no, i dont have any other equipment plugged into the tv at all. only this virgin v6 box. 

i would very much like to be able to hit DTV on my beo4 and for the tv to turn on and not have to also use the List + Go to activate DVD2 ( av2 socket where the v6 is plugged into). but when i plug the v6 into av1 socket, i cant seem to activate it on the tv. must be something to do with the settings/button on av1 not being right. i even selected virgin stb but that doesnt do anything either!. 

so am very tempted to just leave it the way it is because it works. i dont want to go back to tearing my hair out with it again! 

my old samsung lcd tv is so much easier to use. it has a blue button on the remote that as you press it, works its way through all the input sockets and its just so simple and easy - i wish B&O would have a look at how easy Samsungs menu is to use!.

Well, now you know scart 2 works as DVD 2 leave that as is for now but experiment more with scart 1. You can always reconnect to scart 2 until you get the other working.

I have the connection in my menu as STB and that works using my DTV button. It won't make too much difference what version of STB you choose as that is only to activate the IR controller which you don't seem to be using.

What connection options do you get for scart 1 (AV1)?

well i turned the tv and the v6 box off and left it whilst i made tea.

went back to it, then plugged the v6 box into AV1 socket, ( set to v.mem ) and it works! lol. not quite sure how / why, but now from Sby, i can hit v.mem and the tv turns on and the v6 box works great. 

 

I have just read in the manual for the BV7-32 that AV1 is set to V.MEM and I was just about to say try that. So at least now it is just the 1 button instead of using list.

Great that it is working. Next is your Apple TV. 🙂
