I upgraded to a Hopper 3 system and replaced a SJ with a 4K Joey in my niece's bedroom. It is connected to a TCL 40FS4610R (1080p TV with built-in Roku TV)

When they wake up in the morning, they have trouble with the volume of the TV operating. I unplugged the TV the first time to let it reboot and that fixed it....until the next morning. So THIS morning, with the TV unable to vol up or down, I pulled the HDMI cable and when I plugged it back in, all was fine.

At that point I unplugged the Joey to try and simulate a nightly DL and noticed that when it (the 4K Joey) rebooted, the TV had turned itself off. Puzzled, I thought maybe the HDMI-CEC was engaged. I looked all around in the Joey menu and could not find an HDMI-CEC on/off selection.

I decided to check the TV side and when I went into its menu, it had the CEC option but said that no CEC devices were detected, even after I refreshed its search for CEC Devices. A PS-3 and a Playstation TV box are also connected to the TV.

So the questions are:

Does the 4K Joey have an HDMI-CEC option and, if so, where is it?

Has anyone had trouble with a 4K Joey disrupting operations of their TV?
