Hi Austin,

There's a really decent guy on this forum in Australia called John. He's using the Apple TV with BL9 and a V1 TV and from reading his postings, he's very pleased with the overall quality.

Best advice would be to try the Apple Tv route and judge for yourself and if you are not happy, then try the other recommendations. Something i'm not going to comment on as it gets very IT messy and it's not a method that I want to play around with! For me, I like everything to work and be headache free and for that iTunes works great along with VIMEO for streaming my surfing & skateboarding movies :)

After reading that you have a projector, I'd stick with that for the time being. The Avant at £7k just isn't worth it as we enter 2016. After seeing LG OLED, there's nothing like it, and that's even from the non 4K model at £1600.

After seeing a large OLED screen, LCD looks very washed out in comparison. LG are betting the screen future on this technology and B&O certainly have some homework to do here. Wait and see. If you're spending £500 on a 4K, OK buy now but £7K is a lot of money for something that is now outdated to a much better screen technology!

I apologize if this has already been implied in a previous post, but if you do get a B&O television, another option for music is through HOMEMEDIA. Just download TwonkyServer or another server app, to run on your Mac / PC, and point the application to your iTunes Music folder, or another Music folder. B&O televisions have a pretty good built in DLNA renderers. I often listen to music from multiple computers to speakers connected to my BV11 using HOMEMEDIA source.

I am surprised that no one suggest the option of product integration with a BeoSound Core.

As i see it, the disadvantages using eg. Apple TV, is that you always must power on the TV manually before starting to stream music.

If you, on the other hand, invested in a BeoSound Core along with the Avant, you will be able to "product integrate" the two, giving you the ability to stream directly from your phone, ipad etc., to your setup and it will turn on automatically. 

At least to me, it is a huge advantage that the setup turns on as soon as i start streaming music to it, instead of having to get the remote first and turn on Apple TV and so on 🙂

OK, i have no idea how this old thread came up on the front page 😁

Getting out after an almost 5-year confinement 😁

Two of my friends have B&O TVs and both have Apple TV 4Ks mounted to the back of their TVs and last time. I am not sure if it's whether the B&O remote doesn't work or not, but he used his Apple TV remote but it was able to turn on and off the TV as well as send audio to any speaker using AirPlay. Basically replaced the B&O Smart TV feature with an Apple TV. His TV is on a floor stand. My other friend has it on the wall, also with an Apple TV, so I am assuming it is easy to do and can't be seen.
