Workaround needed: Switch TV Input with CCGT Remote control

by Hallerinho82

Hello,

I have a problem with the remote control from the new Chromecast Google TV:

I connected the TV Input button with my TV, the button works. I can switch through my TV Inputs, for example HDMI1, HDMI2 and HDMI3.

But my HiSense TV is stupid, it wants an OK Button to switch to the Input source. And the CCGT remote has no ok button.

All I need is an OK button for accepting the channel switch! It would be great, one remote less. :)

Has someone similar problems and knows what to do?

Thank you!

Use cec and you won't have to use the input button. All of my devices switch input by hitting home on the desired remote.

Can't you leave it highlighted on the source and it changes automatically?

Ouch. Mine will auto ok after about 2 seconds.

Unexpected bonus is that the TV will also have a sub of ports on the receiver since my receiver has 3 inputs and the TV two (after using up one on each for the arc cable)

Anyone happen to have a solution for this? I installed a Nvidia Shield TV Pro and am having this same issue. I have CEC on my other devices set up but its annoying to have to keep going back to my tv remote to switch to my laptop input instead of being able to use the Shield remote. I can switch input but need a way to select it since it won't do it on it's own after a while like most TVs do.
