PS: Nice kit :)
Thanks for your help Pete, problem's been solved (at least as far as I can tell) by switching to a different HDMI cable. My model television didn't have the option to turn on/off the easylink while the DVD player's HDMI reset function did nothing. Sometimes the silly things are the ones that cause the most trouble. Who would have thought a Hewlett Packard branded HDMI would have been of less value to me than a generic 3 dollar HDMI...
"old" HDMI is the real problem. THe control agreements came late to the specs :(
SOME manufacturers seem to be even more flakey and you have to use their cables with extra grounding !!
Glad it's sorted :)
I lied. It worked initially, but today when I went to turn it on and play some Forza I had the same problem. I may be out of luck I think
edit: maybe the reason it worked was what I've experienced in the past, not sure if it means much but: If I leave the tv and dvd player on but dont touch any controls on either for about 10 minutes, I regain full functionality of the dvd remote; maybe because they both go into standby mode,, not sure
