When ATV turns on, it automatically changes the HDMI settings on my Samsung TV. Is there a way to have the TV go back to the cable box HDMI setting when ATV turns off?
I haven't seen any reports about the Apple TV being able to change settings on another device. Exactly what settings are you talking about please.
Every time I use the ATV it changes the port on the TV settings to point to the source it is using. When I want to go back to cable TV viewing I have to grab the TV remote, and manually change the source back to HDMI1. Seeing as the ATV can automatically change the source when it turns on it should be able to do the reverse. It confuses the older members of my household if I forget to change it back to cable when I'm finished viewing ATV. ;-)
Thanks for your reply!
That's not exactly what I thought you meant by changing settings. 😉 However...
This is normal behaviour, I'm afraid.
too bad ..... maybe a possible update????
Thanks again
I wouldn't think so. I believe it's the TV that is changing the input not the Apple TV (although I'm not 100% certain), as such nothing that is changed on the Apple TV itself will help you.

You gave me a useful response about an hour ago regarding my ATV 4's annoying "not connected" message, when used with my Samsung TV. Your suggestion worked after I went to "Remotes and Devices" in Settings. There is an On-Off selection there for "Home Theater Control" which I used to fix my
problem. Possibly experimenting with that setting may help with your problem as well.
Good point I shall take a look at it tonight! Thanks. Will keep you posted.
