I have a Samsung LED TV (B6000) and a TIVO HD XL. The TV audio is not great and I need a Blue Ray player anyway so I am planning to buy a "home Theater in a Box" with built in Blue Ray. My highest priority is to be able to continue using the TIVO remote for everything except the DVD player. (Control Power on/off and volume)
The TIVO remote according to the instructions can be set to control volume and mute for a home theater. But it doesn't mention power on/off. TIVO supports Dolby Digital The Samsung TV supports AnyNet which I understand is their name for HDMI-CEC which allows HDMI devices to communicate (power on/off)
So it seems like I might be able to use the TIVO remote to turn on/off the TV/HomeTheater and have the remote control the audio volume on the Home Theater and get the 5/1 digital audio. All with only the TIVO remote
BUT does it really work that way? I was hoping that somebody has successfully setup a similar system (or tried and failed)
Thanks for any advice. John
