I would add, that some appreciation of my explanation of events leading to a successful conclusion and faultless TiVo and TV combination would be most welcome, but I personally now consider the Standby incident and this thread as being closed.

I am unsubscribing from it as there seems very little purpose in my further participation.

:bigcry:

I doubt you will get much appreciation from folk here due to your rude manner and know it all attitude.

It was YOU that came looking for our help and when suggested by most folk to check your tv and cables turned round and called us all stupid for even suggesting that your tv may be partially to blame.

In technology anything can happen with si many variables.

So if you want to behave that way then goodbye. You won't be missed.

Most people here like seeing things sorted for the better, and I couldn't care less what caused something as long as it is fixed. So as long as you're happy, I hope you have a long happy TiVo experience.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

You know you're in the wrong when even the mods comment about it.

So we still don't know whether it was the Tivo, the cable or even wobbling the HDMI socket on the back of the set when changing the kit over. Ah well, consign this thread to obscurity.

Lets make a poll, I'll assume its the tv

Wonders if that's a revolving door I can hear...

Here's something interesting:

CEC

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is an HDMI feature designed to allow the user to command and control up-to 15 CEC-enabled devices, that are connected through HDMI,[63][64] by using only one of their remote controls (for example by controlling a television set, set-top box, and DVD player using only the remote control of the TV).[65] CEC also allows for individual CEC-enabled devices to command and control each other without user intervention.[65]

It is a one-wire bidirectional serial bus that is based on the CENELEC standard AV.link protocol to perform remote control functions.[66] CEC wiring is mandatory, although implementation of CEC in a product is optional.[49] It was defined in HDMI Specification 1.0 and updated in HDMI 1.2, HDMI 1.2a and HDMI 1.3a (which added timer and audio commands to the bus).[65][67][68][69][70] USB to CEC adapters exist that allow a computer to control CEC-enabled devices.[71][72][73][74]

Trade names for CEC are Anynet+ (Samsung), Aquos Link (Sharp), BRAVIA Link and BRAVIA Sync (Sony), HDMI-CEC (Hitachi), E-link (AOC), Kuro Link (Pioneer), INlink (Insignia), CE-Link and Regza Link (Toshiba), RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) (Onkyo), RuncoLink (Runco International), SimpLink (LG), T-Link (ITT), HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, VIERA Link (Panasonic), EasyLink (Philips), and NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi).[75][76][77][78][79]

Wiki

It would appear that if the TV set has this feature and it is enabled then remote equipment could put the TV in standby via the HDMI. Probably find the OP didn't know about this and the tech just turned this feature off. (Shhh, it's the TV):D

We already discussed CEC (post #135 onwards). It seems unlikely to be the cause, as it's disabled in the TiVo and the TV doesn't appear to support it.

OK Missed that :tu:. Guess we'll never know then.

CEC (anynet+) does work with the vm tivo. I can control my VM Tivo with the Samsung tv remote including the menu's and pvr functions, though not the other way round. TV is a ue40h6400.

Is it me, or has this thread just turned into wittman successfully trolling everyone? It seems he just pops up now and again just to flame the fires.

I'm glad he got his problem fixed, but this seems a little silly now.

How ironic.

Was there a point/reason for replying to a post that was made 4 pages / 9 days ago, or are you just trolling?

Probably best locked Hugh.
