A good number of newer devices ship with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#CEC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#CEC which is meant to help with this type of thing.
I'd agree that a lot of the time it still doesn't work 'well' though.
- maxerickson 11y agoI vaguely remembered that HDMI had something and had looked it up and checked if the cable box supported it before I posted; it doesn't (unsurprisingly). The sad thing is that it is so easy to imagine so much more. If the cable box provided the available programming as data, I could use whatever interface I wanted to access it. Instead, I'm stuck with their customer hostile crap (no way to hide channels, etc.).
