As mentioned by Guy a possibility might to connect to the DVI port of the BV7 to get the handshake between the TV and the ATV to let the remote know which IR signals it shall send

 

 

But even with that in place you will probably only succed with the ATV remote without the white circle

If only it was that that simple as Guy directed... :) I have tried everything, I almost always use forums to ask for help as a last resort...

@madskp with DVI I think I'm stumbling upon yet another problem... it never worked with my ATV. I'm not even sure if it would work with anything else. I couldn't get any signal, that's why I switched to SCART which is scaling ATV horribly... It is what it is.  

 And I've already had my hopes high :) 

I'm sorry for some reason I cannot edit my previous post. Two more things. I am I guess a happy owner of the ATV remote without white circle and with 257 firmware. Moreover, with the DVI, when I was researching how to make it work before it seemed to me, that it would not work because my Beovision 7 is not HD Ready... For 9311 version it's HD ready from serial 19xxxx and mine’s 18xxxxx. So I gave up and went with SCART-HDMI scaler.

You'll get a much better picture if you use the DVI socket.  And it doesn't matter if your TV is not HD ready - this is simply an hdcp problem (google it!).  I use my Apple TV4 with a non-HD BV6-26.

I use one of these boxes to extract the audio, and it has the added advantage of removing the hdcp: link

As stated earlier in this thread, initially connect the Apple TV direct to your TV's DVI socket using a hdmi to DVI cable.  The sound won't work, but this will hopefully trigger your remote to adopt the B&O volume control protocol.  Then insert the audio extractor and feed the audio into the corresponding input on the TV.

@Guy if this works it's pure gold! I remembered I've already read about hdcp before and it was the ultimate reason I went after SCART eventually. Didn't know how to ”break it”. 

Thanks heaps! I'll post a reply once I try this one out, when the box has arrived.  Being able to watch my ATV through DVI on my Beo is so much more than I expected!

I just updated the first post in the thread with info about the second generation Siri remote and firmware versions

Hi Mads - I meant to reply to thank you for updating the first post - this thread really is very useful for those who need (want) Siri remote volume control of B&O TVs. I am also interested to see how soundboy gets on! 

I have set up at  latest generation with bvis 10, it has the pu code for apple but it does not seem to work, is it possible to control tv with apple remote I could not seem to get it to work
