    I have a standard Directv HD receiver that has no dvr or genie. I have hooked it up to 2 tv's using a HDMI splitter. Picture is great on both TV's. My problem is that when I turn on the receiver both TV's turn on. One is with the receiver and the other is in the basement. How do I correct this so the basement tv does not come on when I turn on the receiver which is in another room. They are connected only with a HDMI cable. I do control the reveiver from the basement with a remote extender but that is only so I can change channels.
    Thanks for the help, I just joined this forum today.

    Go into settings and turn off the HDME-CEC control

    Menu > Settings > Display > Video > HDMI Control > Off

    Disable HDMI-CEC on the receivers display menu.

    The setting you are looking for is HDMI control

    More precisely you would want to see if there is that setting on the TV downstairs in the basement, and disable it. You don't mention what TV you have, so we can't go any further.

    Check your TV HDMI Control setting if it is set to ON - Change it to off and see if that makes a difference.

    Thanks everyone. I disabled the CEC on the Tv and it corrected the problem. Never even knew that it existed. Thanks again. Problem solved.
