I, too, got the new Apple TV 4K Gen2 yesterday. I really hated the old siri remote. The new remote give better control. What I really wish, however, is to see B&O give some attention to updating the PUC so that the BeoSystem 4 can "wake" the Apple TV without the need of pressing the green button.

I handed my Siri2 remote back to UPS today. 3 reasons were decisive. On one hand, this remote can not be used for Bang & Olufsen TVs either, because it is not able to read or transmit the frequency of the original B&O remote. The first AppleTV 4 remote control (without a white ring) could still do that. As a result, numerous buttons on the Siri2-Remote have no function for my setup. Second: I am annoyed by the very loud clicking noise of the buttons. the thickness of the new remote control creates enough volume inside to make it sound like a dog clicker. After all, I didn't like the finish that much and the hard edges - not a flattering touch. The lack of remote gaming sensors compared to the predecessor was not relevant to me - but ultimately the added value I expected for upgrading my existing Apple TV 4K has shrunk so much that Siri2 had to leave the house.

Thanks for this info - I won't bother getting one!  Hopefully the introduction of the new TV will drive down the prices of second hand ATV4s, the original without the white circle remote!

It's slightly off-topic for this thread, but what functionality does the B&O PUC give for Beo4 control of Apple TV?

I presume the Beo4 arrow keys move the ATV cursor, and the GO button is select (like clicking trackpad).  But what Beo4 button is used for MENU, and are there any additional controls?

(I don't have the ATV PUC on my BC6, but have 'taught' my ATV some Humax STB commands - hence my question is simply to ask what I am missing, if anything!)

Yes, the arrows (in my case the navistick/Beo4) moves the cursor and GO (pushing the navi) accepts/chooses item.

Depending, you can also scroll in a video with the navistick/the arrows L/R.

Up and down brings you into the Sound/Subtitles choices of a given movie....

STOP and PLAY (on my Beo4) does....you know what!

The green button brings you back into the main app menu.

Back toggles between the app menu and the screen saver (just found that out 😉) - and of cource also brings you a step back from where you are in the menu of the given app.

The source button (dedicated to the input) turns in the ATV

That is about all, I think - and that is what I use and need on a daily basis.

OK - I don’t need things like voice control, user switching etc.

I have never used or even unpacked any of the remotes that came with my ATV’s.

P.S. if I need to move apps etc or to type in a longer text/search, I use the Remote app/Apple, that is on my iPad —— if active, the iPad even detects that and the ATV offers writing on the iPad keyboard instead.

Thanks MM - that's a useful summary.

I don't have the Beo4 Navi version, but I taught my ATV Green as Menu (hence also power on), and then Red and Blue as skip backwards/forwards.  Also Stop as Stop!

I do also use the Siri remote sometimes, especially as this will control the TV volume as described earlier in the thread. 

Hi guys. 

Any idea how to get the "hover" menu to work with a PUC on a Beovision Eclipse?

No answer?

Nope, it seems Apple forgot to program an IR command for that.

Quick follow up question to MM:  Does you ATV switch on when you select it as a source using the Beo4?

As discussed in the 'Beo4 navi' thread, with my 'new' BV10-32 I am using the built in 'Apple Remote' PUC to control my Apple TV HD, but it does not power on when I select it (in my case using 'DTV').   I therefore have to use the Apple Remote to power it on.

Do I need a newer PUC rather than the built in 'Apple Remote' - is there one that is specific to ATV?

Alternatively, I suppose I could simply teach the Apple TV to respond to one of the other STBs (eg Humax) as I did with m old BC6-26. 

Any thoughts?

This is the one, that I have installed on my V1/ATV4HD - full text is: ‘…..from OS13’.

I know of noone newer there.

And sure, the ATV turns on.
