> My Playstation can accept directional and OK button presses over CEC, but my Roku can't despite that being much more useful. To be fair, in this case, the issue not "CEC doesn't work", but rather, "Roku broke compatibility". You can control directional/OK on a Roku STB built into a Roku TV via CEC, the hardware supports everything just fine. But in software, Roku (intentionally?) implemented unusual (arguably proprietary) control codes to do it, instead of the normal ones everyone else uses. Roku will, however, happily pass along regular codes to a connected Playstation or Google TV stick or whatever other 'lesser' device you connect. (assuming HDMI-CEC) You can work around this by injecting Roku-specific codes into your CEC stream. But like, no one should have to do that...
