BV10 46 and apple tv3 1080p

16 replies

Hi there,

I own a bv 10 and just bought a apple tv3. i wouæd like to control the apple tv with my beo4, and have allready pulled the puc cable from tv to apple tv. But how do i code the tv, is it a xml file, and how do i do and where is the instructions avout the apple tv codes. Can anybody help with this process, because i would like to do it myself ?

 

Regards

Jørgen

Sadly I don't know (although I'd also be interested in the same solution).

However, at the moment, I simply use my iPhone or iPad to control the Apple TV. I can imagine it's a more easy and elegant solution, particularly for using the keyboard. Also, sometimes I notice my Beo4 doesn't turn on my Apple TV and only the Remote app on my iPhone takes it out of sleep mode.

Must admit, impressed with the picture quality of 1080p video through my Apple TV/BV10-46.

you need to associate the IR port you have cabled with the AV port that the ATV is associated with ... and select "Apple Remote" from your PUC list.  If "Apple Remote" is not already on the list that's your problem.  You probably need to get a dealer to add that definition to the BV10

Hi moxxey,

yes i have a iPhone too, and know that is can control the atv. Did you have a dealer to configure the BV10 to control the atv, or was it possible to select atv in the put list ?

Ok, i could not find the atv in the puc list, though i could not find any remote, maybe i am doing something wrong. Is there a guide for added the atv from the put list, maybe i am missing something. I do know that a dealer could do the trick but i rather do it myself.  

Ok, did you allready register the atv to a connector and source in the connections

Hi Hfat,

 

Yes, it is connected to V.MEM HDMI B terminal. Under connections i don't see any atv puc options.

Did you associate an IR port with that connection ?

Did you get prompted for what PUC to use with that connection ?

Usually the "Apple Remote" PUC is under the list of "STB" (Set Top Box) PUCs and is called "Apple Remote"

What that PUC will emulate is the silver remote that came in the ATV box

The silver remote's (MENU) button will equal the Beo4's [EXIT] button

Did you associate an IR port with that connection ?

There were two options: IR or Plug, I choose IR

Did you get prompted for what PUC to use with that connection ?

No I just choose PUC1, because cable is plugged there

Usually the "Apple Remote" PUC is under the list of "STB" (Set Top Box) PUCs and is called "Apple Remote" 

When I use << >> I only see "B&O Test-Box" NO APPLE TV. Im I missing something or does the tv has to be coded with that option. It is a BV10-46 from August this year, the one with 3 HDMI connections.

So you cycled through the classes of PUC ("other", "stb", "dvd", "vmem" (VCRs)) and found no reference to "Apple Remote", and only saw "B&O Text-Box"

🙁

Sounds like your BV10 was not loaded with any PUCs which is unusual (for Australia)

In Australia they load the standard cable STBs  (e.g. SKY) and also the "Apple Remore" you need

I suggest you wring your dealer

It does sound like they never loaded anything - I am assuming the "B&O test-box" is something the factory uses
