The V3 was a no go <br>
from the start, and with V4 I noticed stuttering and tearing. I wonder <br>
why your experience seems to be better than mine.<br>
<br>
One thing Ive noticed, and have to fix, is that HEVC encoded content <br>
seems to be burdening my existing CPU, often to the point where it <br>
overheats and shuts down.<br>
<br>
As to the CEC, I always just installed a wireless keyboard and used that <br>
to navigate Mythtv.<br>
<br>
PS: For those interested, I restored my system by downgrading the kernel <br>
and nvidia drivers from sid back to stabe to testing, which involved an <br>
amount of brain salad surgery. After a number of hours of reinstalling <br>
packages, most everything is back.<br>
