I keep these 2 devices far away from HDMI-CEC

HDMI-CEC is an absolutely fantastic feature when it works. The only problem is that it doesn’t work the way that it should all the time, and it’s a bummer. The idea behind HDMI-CEC is that all of your devices are interconnected, and one remote controls them all. For example, your TV remote should control your TV, receiver, and streaming box if everything’s working according to plan.
