Hi Mrugg
I'm interested to hear what other suggestions you are given as I have a similar problem, albeit with a Panasonic TV. I've had the Stream box for 8 weeks and the only way I can get my TV to recgnise it is to reboot it every time I use it. I've now tried the HDMI-CEC process you were advised to follow, but with no success. My TV recognises other devices with no issues. Fingers crossed for another solution. I paid £35 for it but at the moment it's not working properly.

Yes it's very frustrating. Although the stream box works fine after I manually set it up, the point is I shouldn't have to use this workaround for it, I should be able to just connect and it gets picked up properly. Every other HDMI device I own is auto-recognised by my TV when I plug it in without a fuss- Firestick, Sky Q box, PS4, home theatre system etc. I just don't get it.

- Agree with you 100%. I feel they may be quite tempramental as the technician installing my broadband tried two new Stream boxes. First one wouldn't respond at all and the second one took a bit of persuading before it
worked. - Matthew_ML
