Apple TV 2 - HDMI CEC Signal?

Does anybody know whether Apple TV 2 sends a HDMI CEC Signal?
I have a Neet 3-port auto HDMI switcher so that several HDMI sources can be used on one TV HDMI port. It switches to a device when you turn a device on. It uses the HDMI CEC signal. It is not working with the Apple TV 2.
Neet support have been very good and have offered me to upgrade to the remote controlled version for free, but before I take them up on it I would like to know if the Apple TV 2 is sending the signal or not so I know whether the unit is working or not.

So cynical...yet probably so true
I must remember to ditch all my other media devices now I'm in ATV land and dedicate my TV to the little black marvel...
...but back in the real world, impressed as I am with the HD movie streaming its too pricey for me to seriously consider it being the only thing I want hooked up to my TV. Not to mention the life-confirming requirement for Sky Sports on my HD box. So the CEC signal, or lack thereof, is a mark off IMHO. Not a perfect 10. I will now have to get my lazy butt off the sofa and manually change the auto-switching device thing with the ever-so old fashioned manual switch button. A neat step up from changing cables but still off the sofa. Or try not to lose yet another remote (courtesy of the wonderful customer service of Neet). Before realising I have to get of the sofa anyway to manually change the optical cable switch to get the wonderful surround sound. Or buy another TV with even more HDMI inputs and a home cinema system with even more optical inputs.
Life, eh?

  • HDMI CEC support for Apple TV

    When will HDMI CEC support arrive Apple TV? HDMI CEC is a must have for every HDMI connected device. Apples TV remote is horrible and with only one remote the TV experience will be much better.

    Yes, not much more to do than just tell Apple what we want. If you did find this thread in search of CEC support for the Apple TV? Please take the time to give Apple feedback, where you ask for this feature. Using this link:

  • How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

    Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.  Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
    The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI.  Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

    google component hdmi converter
    but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all
    and will not work with any DRM material as in movies you reant and maybe netflix and the sports thingy

  • Brand New ATV3 - No HDMI video signal.

    Brand New (2013) ATV3 - No HDMI video signal when plugging it in to my TV (Toshiba 52" LED).
    Ive tried 3 different HDMI cables in 3 different HDMI inputs in various configurations. Still no video.
    Ive tried power cycling ATV and my TV, and changing resolutions using the Apple remote - Still nothing.
    Ive seen serveral forums offering many but unhelpful options.
    Yes, my TV is set to the same HDMI input as the HDMI cable is plugged into.
    Please help?

    You tried difference HDMI cables, different HDMI ports, cycled the ATV, confirmed optical audio output works. Do you have another HDTV to plug in and test? If ATV video fails to appear in this case, I would say that this would confirm the Apple TV HDMI output is broken given the extensive troubleshooting you have already performed. In my opinion, this would completely isolate the diagnosis as ATV malfunction. Did you purchase it via Apple or Third party? Apple will replace the device within 14 days no questions asked, or service it within one year. If third party, contact them regarding your coverage.
    How long is my Apple TV covered by Apple’s warranty?
    Apple's Limited Warranty for Apple TV covers your Apple TV for one year. Warranty service for eligible repairs is available at no charge for twelve months from the date of original retail purchase ("date of purchase").

  • HDMI-CEC Support in Future X1

    I dug up this thread from last year that concluded HDMI-CEC is not supported for the X1, which seems like an odd thing for such expensive equipment.  How much trouble would it be for Comcast to add this via software update, or into the next gen of X1 boxes? I sold my expensive harmony remotes a while back and haven't had to worry about switching devices on my receiver until my recent upgrade to the X1 box. It just seems like such a simple feature to add--just press the Xfinity button to send the signal? Thanks,Michael  

    Comcast has chosen to deviate from widely accepted HDMI specs to suit their own purposes. To us, these changes might seem easy. To Comcast, if it doesn't suit their end game the will not make the changes.
    As a Harmony owner (I am also an expert Harmony programmer) you may regret selling your Harmony remotes. I have three Harmony 900s controlling my three X1 systems and it looks like the 900s are one of the smartest things I have ever done.
    Don't hold your breath on Comcast making the changes you are suggesting.

  • HDMI CEC Support

    It would be so nice if we could find a Verizon Fios DVR that supported the HDMI CEC protical. How much effort does Verizion spend to get one remote control of their customers TVs, sound systems and DVD players? Imagine all this going away by simply supporting a HDMI standard that is already in place. Not only that but the pleasure you would give us techies that have been waiting for the addition of support for this standard.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

    My TV is equipped with DVI and VGA connector, the issue is how to link Apple TV's HDMI with my TV? DVI connector is for video only!! or I have to link apple TV's HDMI to VGA connector?

    Providing you have a free HDMI port on the TV and the location you would put the Apple TV will allow it to connect to your network, you should be good to go.

  • My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

    my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio  any suggestions?

    Jeffrey-
    If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input?  I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried.  I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

    If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

  • If I am using my Apple TV without hdmi cords do I always lose hdcp playback? If not, which adapters or cords must I purchase so my Apple TV still works optimally?

    If I am using my Apple TV without hdmi cords do I always lose hdcp playback? If not, which adapters or cords must I purchase so my Apple TV still works opitmallly?

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. 

  • My Apple TV has no Wifi Signal

    I have been using Apple TV's airplay almost everyday using Wifi.  Suddenly, there was no Wifi signal from Apple TV at all.    Other machines like xbox, bluray, and TV have no problem and all have strong signal. Apple TV shows zero Wifi signal at all and I cannot even see its wifi Mac Address anymore. I have to connect the machine to my router using an ethernet cable so it can connect to my network.
    Is it broken? What should I do?  Any help please?

    hi, sorry for the late reply. the wifi suddenly dissappeared, so I plugged in the ethernet to update the software, reset, and/ or restore.  I did everything.  And still no luck after removing the ethernet cable in between changes.  The ATV got no wifi signal, no wifi address at all.  the status are all N/A.
    I'm returning it to Apple tomorrow.
    Thanks for all the comments.
