Hi Peter

I had my Avant 32 to control both AppleTV and my Samsungbox. Worked very nice.

You have to use an special y-adpter to get it to work.  I dont know if its possible with the BV3.

Search the forum and you will find answers.

Not a direct answer to your question, but if its possible, and if any dealer have that kind of STB-controller card left its not very hard to put the card into the telly. There are good instructions along with the card.

Check this side on the forum for more info regarding the "STB-Chip"

Hi, 

I also have a BV3_32 and a BV7_32, as far as I know, even the last STB update on BV3 has no Apple TV in its list.

I would suggest you use a Lintronic converter TT455RT238, have a look at their website, it will be the easiest and most future-proof solution for you, especially as you can customize all Beo4 controls, which the B&O STB/PUC softwares can't.

For me using a BEO5 and the beo5 programming service found trough beoworld was a clear choice.

Service was excellent, and results everything I wanted!

So now I have only one remote controlling 5 machines. 3 of these non B&O. 

I'm sure updating the STB software in the BV5, and buying a compatible receiver would have been more expensive than a new Beo5 and programming.

My choice, programmed Beo5.

and for "oldtimer":

Thanks, Guys!

Ok, so this means that getting a STB controller card will not help me since the PUC list version for the BV 3-32 doesnt cover the Apple Remote?
I thought BV-3 and the Avant was more or less the same TV in different packages, but obviously not.. And if I understood it right also from other posts, the STB card for the BV 3 is not possible to flash-upgrade to the same level as newer TV sets). I thought this was the most obvious solution, but seems not to be an option for me at all then..

Leaves me with the two other options:

- Lintronic; seem like a great future proof solution (even if I really dont like to have more boxes and cables around..)

- Beo 5, looks neat but will probably end up as twice as expensive as the Lintronic solution even after I have gotten all the cables and stuff needed..

Thanks for helping!

I was under the impression that you can add our remotes directly to the apple TV instead of worrying about programming ext. So you should be able to control Apple TV directly VIA our B4 remote. Doesn't solve much if you want it out of sight but could be a good interim until you arrange for a dealer to visit and update your TV with the new codes.

Hi BeoChime,

Yes, there is a neat little function on the AppleTV to make it "learn" other remotes. Worked perfectly to make it work with the remote to my Sagem box and probably any kind of standard remote….but ..of course..it didnt work with the Beo4 or my Beolink 1000. :-(   They use another standard I suppose.

If anyone knows a workaround on that or know about a plugin, please let me know..

I am using my iPhone as a remote as well to my Apple TV and there are soon various apps to control also B&O Equipment..

But, I just want to use my Beo 4 for all of it..

Thanks!

/P

Hi Peter,

Annoyingly it does let you add the Beo 5 and not the 4? Odd choice from Apple.

I Also use the IpodTouch/Iphone as a remote, I was amazed at the range of control this offer. Makes you wonder if B & O should just do an app for all it's products.
