I'm trying to find an hdmi switch that supports hdr and can understand/pass cec signals and as far as I can tell it would be easier to find an actual unicorn

i spent a month looking for one

ended up with a receiver :/

literally could not find one that worked properly
monoprice has matrix switches that claim to work but they only work like 80% of the time which is worse than not working at all

We
cec works on my lg tv and lg speaker plus apple tv but stops working once i switch the atv off, the signal goes to the tv but never makes it to the speaker, leaving it on, which means i can’t cec control the volume anymore next time i switch it all on and have to go through awful simplink menus

once in a full moon the speaker does switch off with this entire assembly though

additionally the auto-switch off feature on all of these devices doesn’t seem to work either so they all go to sleep at slightly different times if i leave them on lol

it’s a dumpster fire

once in a while cec doesn't switch inputs for me. like the apple tv will turn the tv on but not switch it to the correct input. idk

too bad the configuration tool is hot garbage

why yes of course i want my remote config only accessible from the cloud

and obviously rearranging special buttons should require you to drag and drop them across a series of example menus that scroll at a snails pace from left to right instead of letting you do copy paste or "insert before"

oh, and did i mention that it's written in silverlight?


thank god i only ever need to update the config on my 650 maybe once a year because otherwise i would probably shoot myself

but yeah other than that the harmony remotes are great

It’s also a ton easier to setup with the phone app, which has the advantage of being written this decade.

can't do this with the 650. it's really annoying but the two times a year I need to redo buttons it's not that big of a deal.

I would probably recommend the hub over the emote for new buyers. but I've had my 650 for a few years and it still works flawlessly.

i just switched from the 650 to the hub and theyre both great

ofc ive had harmonys for well over a decade i cant imagine the kind of person who doesnt have one

i have one and never use it because everything attached to my tv is cec so my tv's remote does everything already and the harmony has like three buttons and a lovely touchscreen, so if you need to do anything more complicated than change the volume, it like a bunch of swipes and hunting through menus on a remote which is just awful

apples hardware stuff leaks all the time (too many eyeballs in the production chain) but they are often able to sneak out new software products that no one expects, the best example before arkit being swift (which there wasnt even a faint hint about until timb got onstage at wwdc to announce it)

we kept the arm64 transition hidden pretty well, and that was a much larger project than swift.

cec will turn my Lucky Gold (TM) TV on with no problems but won't turn it off for some bizarre reason.

also the visor thing Microsoft made is cool and I can see design teams using it for product design whilst ARKit is used to simulate anime boobs on your dog because no company uses osx or Linux for anything aside from servers or product testing :(

they should make an AR app that lets cops throw poke balls at suspected criminals and a drone launches a net Ana teasers them.

My grandmother had a Lucky Goldstar Mircowave she bought in the early 70s, and she was still using it when she died in the early 2000s. Phones may be garbage but the appliances were solid.
