HDMI-CEC sur Swisscom TV 2.0

currently no support for HDMI-CEC

For the monopoly I’m not sure…. however it’s true that the HDMI CEC function shouldn’t be a major problem anyway! especially since I found several comments and questions on this subject which has been asking for it for a long time… So not an exotic request it seems to me!!

I confirm, with my Home Cinema the HDMI-CEC function is really the basis and Swisscom TV 2.0 is the only one of my devices not to manage it.:smileymad:

I even have a WD TV Live multimedia box bought for not even 100.- which manages it, that’s to say and the irony is that according to former beta testers, the function was present in the beta test phase!

Hopp Swisscom, an update and quickly please!!!

ps: by the way, the tv 2.0 application for windows phone is likely to arrive before 2020?!

I agree with all the comments urging Swisscom to activate the HDMI-CEC function which is part of the basic functions of the HDMI controller integrated into the TV box. There is probably only one line of code to add to go from pre-history to present day, I’m not even talking about futuristic functions.

We can speak of an energy-efficient box, as the Swisscom documentation describes it; but if a function such as centralized control of switching on/off all devices does not exist, we talk in the air and chirp.

I’m reviving the subject because it would be good for SWISSCOM to realize that the lack of support for the HDMI-CEC function causes the box to lose a lot of intérêt. Indeed we find ourselves with the obligation to keep 2 to 3 remote controls within reach to manage the channel change, the sound volume and the switching on and off of the television, the Swisscom TV box and the home cinema/bar of sound. In short, a return to prehistory.

When will the developers at Swisscom (or the box supplier) include this in a new firmware version?

Dear All,

Thank you for your messages.

The HDMI-CEC standard is not yet available on Swisscom TV 2.0.

Swisscom is attentive to technological developments in many areas. Therefore, we are looking into the possibility of a conversion, but unfortunately cannot communicate any dates or details.

Thank you for your understanding.

Cordialement,

Good morning,

A new relaunch for support for this HDMI-CEC standard, very practical and integrated into most multimedia TV boxes these days.

Indeed, without this standard, volume adjustment is really not practical in surround mode.

THANKS.

Good morning,

I would like to take the liberty of reviving the subject. The HDMI-CEC function is indeed an essential feature when you have a home cinema.

This is why we are very interested in Swisscom implementing this in a future update.

Best regards,

Sebastian

Good morning,

In my turn, I can only very firmly support all these requests for support for the HDMI-CEC standard which would bring very appreciable additional comfort to Swisscom TV users.

Will we see her soon? We can always dream…

Yes, a very good idea because for my part when I turn off my TV it turns off my home cinema and not the opposite and it doesn’t work when turned on.

Dear Swisscom team,

without entering into a sterile controversy, I think that ready-made answers like this should be checked before publication. As a reminder, the CEC function on HDMI connectivity has been part of its specifications since version 1.0 published in 2002 (revised in 2005), which therefore left the Swisscom technical teams 13 years to study them… Even while doing poorly humor and taking into account that the engineering of the box is in German Switzerland we should have gotten there anyway.

Personally I find this function basic and moreover supported by the chipset embedded in the box should be activated without délai. So stop taking us for pigeons, you missed the boat by not including this function from the start, do it now!

compared to mpn previous message I am referring to the response of LeylaG from Swisscom and not that of the forum member…

I agree with you. It’s unbelievable that they can’t activate HDMI-CEC:

For the moment, the only solution to avoid a multitude of remote controls is the Logitech Harmony.

Of course, the only way to make the TV box work with this is to buy an IR dongle from Swisscom!

Good evening,

I’m joining the long list of people who want this feature enabled! New customer of Swisscom TV I spent 15 minutes looking for this option, having never thought that it was not activated.

When will it be available?

Thank you in advance!

Good evening, I have read all the comments on HDMI-CEC and as it seems that Swisscom is not interested in this issue but I am also fed up with these remote controls, I am going to change operator. With Cablecom or Netplus, there is no need for a second remote control. There you go, this is the only solution to date.

Dear users,

After checking with our specialists, the HDMI-CEC function has not been implemented, for the benefit of other services. One of the reasons why adding this feature is not prioritized is that there are different standards for each TV manufacturer. Not all of these have adhered to the HDMI-CEC specification. So, from our point of view, the introduction of this function would unfortunately generate more problems than it would solve. However, if the implementation of HDMI-CEC were to follow market developments or become a necessary need for all users, we will take new steps.

We are sorry not to be able to respond favorably to your request and hope that you will understand our position. Thanking you for your patience and understanding, we wish you a happy new year 2016.

Cordialement

Hello, I am also a “disappointed” user of the HDMI CEC function and not only on Swisscom TV2.0.

Before Swisscom TV2.0 I had a classic cable network subscription (without box)… A Pana Plasma TV, a Dolby Onkyo amplifier, a Samsung bluray player.. all in HDMI and CEC.. well it didn’t work great at all Unfortunately. And when I went on the WEB to look for solutions and spent a few hours reading the instructions… we realized that it’s not very reliable like NORM:-(.. There are lots of users who complain that the CEC does not work, only limitedly or very poorly.

I understand the users… and I am one with two BOX Swisscom TV but with Hormony Logitech as a result…

On the other hand, I think that Swisscom should “open up the possibility” of activating this function and specify that limitations are possible depending on the connected equipment.

Afterwards I can easily imagine that Swisscom does not want to receive a large number of calls on the hotline for this… because this is unfortunately not their resort!

But it’s true that activating this function to at least test it on YOUR installation would be nice..

Let’s see!
