Forgive my ignorance on this subject: Is it the US AppleTV that is different firmware, or the Beo?
Surely it is not just the geography 😕

When I got my BV7-40 MK III 4 weeks ago, I connected a mac mini to an AV socket via HDMI and control the mac with Beo 4 with the PUC "ipodremote" in DVD2 mode. Everything works fine including fast scroll. I`m in Europe.
Did you try another appletv?
Does your apple tv work with the apple remote?
Have you paired the remote to your apple tv?
Can you see IR commands at the IR emitter via a digital camera?
Ok, let`have a little break. I`m thinking about more questions.......

OK, so it's maybe not a geographical issue then. Could it be old versus new BV7-software?
No, I haven't tested another AppleTV but this one works perfectly with the AppleRemote.
How do you pair a Beo4 with the AppleTV when the AppleTV does not respond at all to Beo4?
Haven't tried to take digital images of the IR-sender 😕

Actually, Stefan may be on to something.
If you have paired your remote to the AppleTV, then it won't recognize IR-signals from other units.
Go into the settings menu and unpair the remote (if paired).
Thanx anyway !
There is no reason why thw beo4 shouldn't work. I guess that as mentioned it is to do with the Apple remote still being paired to your ATV.
There is loads of info on pairing and unpairing remotes on the the web, and I would really look nto this before slating B&O software too much.
If the STB setup is correct you should at least see the light on the ATV flash when you hit buttons on the Beo4. If you do and yet it isn't working, I would definataley look at the pairing issue
I think it is very important to unpair the apple remote, because apple remote sends different codes if paired. The PUC doesn`t control your appletv, it just translates Beo IR codes into apple (NEC) codes. So it won`t detect the codes if paired.
First thing: make sure your apple remote is unpaired.
Second: take a camera or a mobile phone and check whether the codes are sent by the PUC. You dont have to take photos, you can see the ir command at the ir emitter looking through the camera when you press a button on the Beo4 that matches the apple remote.

And a silly question: your ir-connector is in the right port on your BV-7? My BV8 has two ports, and I wasn't sure which was 1 and which was 2. Of course I picked the wrong one when I first set up.
What do you need to control AppleTV with the Beo4 in the US? Please post explicit details.
Thanks,
Dario
I have a BV8, I selected Ipod Remote - made sure ATV is unpaired - and it works like a charm.
I think you have to have a current STB software, it may even be that one works and a later one doesn't. Beocare confirmed for my BV8 that it can control the ATV. It might be beneficial if you contact them and ask them which version would support that. They can find out from product management, it took them a bit though.
