Is it high, moderate or too low to be detected? 😭 Or to put it in other words  - What is the reason for B&O being unable of writing PUC software for the AppleTV? After all they have managed to control a whole range of other STBs.

I get absolutely no useful information from Bang Olufsen Denmark on how to control the AppleTV with Beo4. So VERY frustrating!!!

Yes I know that some of you have been lucky with this -  and one possible explanation is that it is various versions of the Beovision software that causes the problem. However, no matter where the error lies, B&O should - after so many months - have been able to come up with an official solution.

I know that B&O in the past has chosen the Microsoft path - but to keep on ignoring the worlds most powerful operating system is just so very foolish.

This is altogether so sad! I'd love to see B&O survive also in the age of digital media.

I doubt that it is a function of engineering knowhow.
I doubt that it is a fuction of any licencing agreements.
It is probably because they dont want to.
There is a fine edge between a user to having on one extreme a full B&O system and only the BL4's at the other.
i.e. they want you to buy as much B&O as possible.

Strange- in the US you can control AppleTV with Beo4, without any trouble at all. European customers should adopt some American swagger: "Fuggeddeabout if I can't control my AppleTV!"

Going to check.

I've got Apple TV in my PUC list, payed my local service tech to come around and install Apple TV, PS3 and a local digital cable network box into the list. All three work with my Beo4 and Beo5 remotes.
