Hi johuk ,


My problem exactly. CEC was working fine until ATV4 came along. I have CEC disable on almost all componets execpt for the TV and receiver for ARC purposes. Bought Lindy HDMI CEC Less Adapter witch just disables pin 13 (CEC) on the HDMI cable.

That does not seem to help. My amplifier still automatically tells the TV to change HDMI every time I try to choose apple tv on my amp.

Funny thing was that everything worked fine until I reset the ATV to factory settings and upgraded it. Now only turning HDMI control off on my amp (Pioneer VSX828) enables me to choose ATV, but on the other hand it disables my ARC. I tried to look for downgrade possibility for the ATV, but it seems that Apple only lets the latest TVos to be downloaded.
