HDMI Splitter on the HR44
AT&T has thoroughly messed up CEC on the HR44. With CEC enabled there is no way to watch TV without turning on your AVP.
With CEC on every button on the remote turns on the AVP if it is off, not the way it is supposed to work.
On the older boxes with your AVP off and CEC on you could watch TV without turning on your AVP. The HDMI passed through the turned OFF AVP.
So has anyone used an HDMI splitter with the HR44 HDMI output connection. I want to be able to send splitter 1 HDMI signal to my AVP so I can watch DTV with the AVP on with all speakers, or I can watch using splitter HDMI 2 connected to HDMI 2 on the TV so I can watch DTV just using the TV's speakers. That way I can choose surround on (10 speakers) through the AVP, or TV audio using TV speakers.
Who wants to watch all programming with 10 speakers of surround on all the time.

Make sure it is a powered HDMI splitter that supports HDCP 2.2 and preferably HDMI 2.0. This is comply with current HDCP requirements as mandated by the networks.
The HR44 is a good model, though is a couple models back. I wonder if anyone can chime in and confirm if the HR54 works better with CEC. Though in many cases it is suggested to have CEC on your TV turned off for a lot of setups.

AFAIK you can't as HDMI-CEC will turn on the AVP so long as its HDMI-CEC is turned on.
