Mi Box and HDMI CEC - Is there anyway to keep the Mi Box on even when I turn off the TV?

by mehrabrym

As the title says, when I turn off my TV, the Mi Box goes into its suspend mode. However, I'm a big user of Chromecast, and I often just cast from my phone even before turning the TV on. This action used to power on the TV using HDMI-CEC with my old Chromecast. However, now that I've replaced it with the Mi Box, it turns itself off (suspend mode) when I turn off my TV. This means that with my TV off, the cast button on the apps don't show up since the Mi Box is off as well. Is there anyway to make it so that the TV turning off doesn't turn off the Mi Box?

My Samsung TV has an option to not send the shutdown signal to HDMI-CEC device when TV is turned off.

I have a similar problem. If I turn my TV off while the Mi Box is on, the Mi Box will automatically turn the TV on not allowing it to shut off. It is extremely annoying.
