    HDMI-CEC + Airplay = No?!

    So the Apple TV 4th gen has HDMI-CEC (if you don't know what this is, it basically means you can control the TV via a HDMI-CEC enabled device i.e. switch it on and off, turn the volume up and down from the Apple Tv remote - etc etc) So my question is: Why does the TV not switch itself on when...
