Re: Smart TV

The original question was about auto switching HDMI inputs. If that's all you're missing you might want to consider and external switcher. I got a unit similar to this one from Sewell for our family home entertainment setup:

Classic View vs Modern

I have Mail set to Classic view. My question is aimed at those who have used classic for some time then switched. If you have not used classic, that will not help. (smiles) I want to know what made you switch and what the advantages are. I have been using Windows for so long its hard to

Ah Mary so you see what I’m saying about amazon TV. I have the Fire TV and it also uses voice view and I imagine is quite like what they include in the full blown TV sets but having not used one I’m not sure. Either way I love Fire TV and voice view as well. Not to mention I just like that

Re: Smart TV

Yes. Pressing a button on the remote for the device that you want to switch to switches it there. It will even turn the TV on if the TV is off. I have DirecTV, and Amazon fire stick, and fourth generation Apple TV. I can't speak to the third generation one. Also, it seems to me that this

It depends if you have HDMI control messages enabled on both the TV and the end device supports it. I can confirm Samsung does this with the Gen 4 Apple TV but not previous versions, Google Chrome Cast works this way as does Comcast, charter and FIOS set top boxes. So it can be hit or miss
