Re: HDMI rcvr/tv -- auto select the display?
said by dadkins  :FOR ME, it is just more reliable to pull the HDMI out while it is still sending data to the equipment and letting the computer swicth back to internal. More times than not, if I plug the HDMI back in and select HDMI on the equip, it will connect again. Interesting but unfortunately, not ideal.
I fully understand why the computer doesn't "see" anything over the HDMI when the receiver is switched to something else.
What I'm looking for is a way to get the display to automatically switch back to the receiver when that HDMI connection is active. The computer obviously detects it because the receiver shows up in the dropdown of the nvidia control panel.
Perhaps I just need to fiddle with nvidia control panel some more (default display? setting up dual displays? there's got to be a way to do this...) |

1 edit | Like I said, it's hit or miss merely switching inputs.
Sometimes it will just see it and work, other times it will not.
I'm suspecting it is an OS (Media Center) issue.
Mine *MIGHT* be because of having to choose one display only.
HDCP and Blu-ray will only allow one display at a time for playback.
No, it is not ideal - but it is what *I* have to do.
Beats restarting the computer when it doesn't work by switching inputs. 
Querry:
If you select the reciever's input back to HDMI and let it stay there - will it eventually reconnect?
5 minutes?
10 minutes?
30 minutes?
Never tried it myself... just curious.
I'm too impatient.

And still open to suggestions if anyone has any  |
