Review: top work - if you own a htpc running windows media center or xbmc then this is a must buy. but make sure your tv has Consumer Electronics Control. (cec. control for hdmi). My set up was htpc connected via hdmi to tv with the cec adapter located between tv and pc. im running a ati hd 7550 witch has dual hdmi out in clone mode. the second hdmi is connected to my amp. which gives me my 5.1 sound. after download the sofware, installing hardware and software. nothing worked software wouldn't run. so managed to find a beta software ([...]) with the new software installed every thing was up and running. plus points. auto switches tv and amp to the right inputs when pc boots. can still use my dual display setup without any problems with the audio side of things. auto powers amp off when pc switches off. xbmc on windows doesn't need any drivers or software. negative points tv doesn't auto switch back to tv when pc switches off. anyway was so impressed i decided to get another one for the bedroom pc but didnt check the spec of the tv no cec. on the bedroom tv. returned to desertcart but purchased a raspberry pi installed xbmc using openelec software and to my surprise the raspberry pi has cec built in. top work pulse eight and xbmc.
Review: Good product - As expected, it allows me to control xbmc with the smarttv remote control. I use linux and no extra drivers required.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it power on/off Sony TV when PC is suspended/resumed without Kodi? That's all I'm looking for -- just turn on/off the TV even without Kodi.**
A: Yes, it took me a while to figure out how to wake and sleep my TV along with my PC. The tricky part was triggering the TV to wake at the Windows login screen and not after I logged in, otherwise I would be logging in blind. First download and install libCEC, available on the pulse-eight website. While installing "libCEC", be sure to check the box near CEC Debug Client. Next, write 2 batch scripts and save them somewhere, I just put them directly in C:/cec-tv-on.bat and C:/cec-tv-off.bat. I used this guide to write the batch scripts: http://support.pulse-eight.com/support/solutions/articles/30000027391-turn-on-off-tv-using-usb-cec-adapter-windows- . Next, download an app called "Hibernate Trigger". Finally, open "Hibernate Trigger" and insert the path to the respective batch scripts in the Suspend/Resume boxes. Works like a charm!

**Q: Im having issues with rgb full 4k 60, im using a 6 foot 18gbs amazon cable too? with dp to hdmi adapter, sparkles-loss signal**
A: The adapter should be a pin for pin HDMI passthrough. However 4K 60hz was not ratified as a standard until HDMI 2.0. In pretty sure this adapter came out before then so it's probably 1.3 or 1.4 specs. This means that if you're not having any trouble with the miniDP to HDMI without using the adapter (directly between computer and output display), the HDMI-CEC adapter is not compatible with 4K 60Hz signal. I'd  inquire with the manufacturer. Maybe they have a firmware update or a manufacturing revision of the product to address this issue.

**Q: Does this work with Windows Media Center on Windows 7?**
A: Yes, it works perfectly with WMC on Windows 7.  I had it working with my brand new Samsung TV within minutes.  You might want to remap some of the buttons to your preference, but that is simple to do with their tray program.

**Q: Will this device work with a dvi to hdmi cable going from it to the computer?**
A: Yes it will, connect the USB-CEC Adapter after the DVI -> HDMI cable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enables you to use your TV Remote to control Kodi on your PC
*by A***S on 6 October 2015*

I first learned about CEC by chance - I had a Raspberry Pi with Kodi on it with its own remote control. One day I picked up the TV remote by mistake - and it all worked perfectly. Convinced that the TV couldn't be using telepathy - I learnt about CEC. Wasn't sure how this CEC adaptor would work, but it is very simple - it has three ports - two of which simply intercept the HDMI signal and third port being USB that plugs into the PC. This will only work with TVs that have CEC - unfortunately every manufacturer has given it a different name, for example Samsung's is Anynet+. If you do a web search for "HDMI-CEC Trade Names" to find out the name that your TV's manufacturer has given it and then check that your particular TV has it. Now I can use my Samsung TV remote on Kodi (XBMC) running on an Ubuntu PC. I think it worked straight out of the box, although it is possible I installed the Pulse-Eight CEC add-on from within Kodi. I can't remember - so it must have been very easy! This adapter did seem quite expensive for what it does, but in effect you're paying NOT to have yet another remote!!
