Beam Losing Connection to Samsung TV/ Apple TV

My home theater isn’t holding a connection to the TV. My TV keeps defaulting to TV Speakers rather than HDMI/Receiver speakers. Beam work via Airplay but is not optimal at all.

Some Samsung TV models do seem to have issues with CEC/AnyNet+ focus …and so I would perhaps switch off CEC control on any ‘other’ device connected to the TV’s ‘other’ HDMI ports.

When disabled just leave CEC running on the TV and Beam. Note when switching off CEC on Apple TV you will need to power-cycle that device. In fact I recommend power-cycling the TV and all it’s connected products after sorting out the CEC issues.
