Hi,

Has anyone any experience using CEC with their Horizon Box? 

I have a raspberry pi 4 and my Horizon box connected to a Panasonic tv via HDMI. However when I run commands using cec-client to see what devices are connected to my tv, it doesn't detect the Horizon Box..

I really appreciate any help - thanks!

Hello

Where are you based ?

If your are in Ireland you need to speak to Irish support, as this forum is for UK support only.

If you are based in the UK I am afraid that talking about products not released in the UK as yet i.e. Under Trial isn't allow in the forum !

Hi Mike, yes I'm based in Ireland - didn't realise I was on a uk forum!

Is there an equivalent Virgin TV box in the uk? And does it have CEC functionality?   

Thanks!

Hello

Horizon has not been released in the UK as yet we do not have the same box, so I am afraid you will need to speak to IE support.
