Yeah, I've got a Samsung 32 inch led tv, I click one of the buttons on the apple tv remote and the Samsung tv turns on
It starts off at the standard tv channel and then approximately a second after it turns on it flicks over to the correct HDMI input, I have a blueray player connected via HDMI also and it does the same thing, I open the disk tray of the blue ray player and the tv turns on and when I close the tray the disk starts playing. I take it this is a standard HDMI feature but then I don't know what tv companys do. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of christopher hallsworth Sent: Saturday, 11 June 2016 6:24 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple TV 4th Generation Sounds good, so does your Apple TV automatically switch to the appropriate HDMI input source or does this truly depend on a feature I read about, HDMI CEC, available on recent televisions and home theatre equipment? > On 11 Jun 2016, at 03:31, Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com> wrote: > > Hi Chris, > > Yeah my apple tv 4 gen is great, > > Except for when I lean on the remote and turn the tv on to the hdmi channel. > > It does allow you to switch the tv on automatically to the Apple tv channel > or if your watching a tv show it switchs to the HDMI channel for the apple tv. > > I find it great for streaming tv shows and watching movies or listening to > music from my collection. > > The remote took me some getting use to but I can also use my apple tv gen 3 > remote to control my gen 4 tv. > > The only thing I'm not happy about is the fact the apple tv 4 gen doesn't > have an optical output as my sound system doesn't have HDMI I used optical to > input directly to my speakers. > > But still can't really complain. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of jeff `greene > Sent: Saturday, 11 June 2016 6:23 AM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Apple TV 4th Generation > > Hi Chris, > I love my apple tv#4!
