Speaking of HDMI CEC, I think you may like a Chromecast >> All these new boxes make you switch inputs and remotes all the time. I have too many remotes already

The Chromecast can turn on a TV (and the TV can turn on the audio receiver) via HDMI CEC. I was surprised when the Chromecast icon was displayed when the TV was off. Lo and behold, it just worked.
- dangrossman 12y agoIt doesn't switch inputs back when it's done, so I'd still need a phone and two remote controls to go from casting back to watching TV on my TV. Its use of CEC doesn't help solve the input/remote problem at all. The 2010 Google TV already did everything the Chromecast does except tab/screen mirroring, minus ever having to switch inputs or use multiple remotes.
