Sorry if this has been adressed before. Did some searching into old posts without success...
Is it possible to connect an AppleTV (either 1G or 2G) to an MkII BV7-40 and control it via PUC ?
Side question (well, sort of...): is it wise today to buy a second-hand MkII BV7 ? Main usage would be watching tv/vod through adsl set top box and (audio)master in a link setup
Thanks all for your comments

ATV G2 uses HDMI connections, and yes it can be controlled via a PUC (as Apple Remote)
The real question for you, is how many HDMI devices do you want to support, and how many HDMI connections does a BV7-40 Mk II have
That is your real constraint
If not enough HDMIs you need to look at the ATV G1 (in my opinion)
As far as I know, MkII has no HDMI, and I was wondering whether there was any Apple-Remote PUC update at all for MkII
I see no reason why the PUC list could not be updated to include an Apple Remote ... I would give your nearest dealer a call
I have tried to find ATV 1st generation details - these used to be in Wikipedia, but whomever did the update for 2G has dropped all the details of the video out of the first generation -- I can not remember if it was composite or component
If no HDMI then definitely a DVI input. i think
Use hdmi-dvi adapter and then update puc list to accomodate AT2
I have a BV7-40 MKII with 1st gen. Apple TV connected through DVI and use a BEO5 with no problems at all. BEO4 won't allow fast scrolling.
