handshake issues with arc ultra

I have had very good results from a number of Sony sets.

Even if you get some glitches with the set you choose, almost all can be dealt with.

Thank you. Have been wondering if LG is the only brand without issues as search engines would have me believe 

Wondering about all and any brands without handshake issued 

Never had a problem with my Samsung sets, through one of them was a big problem with the A/V receiver I replaced with Sonos.  

Neither my LG or Samsung have had any handshake issues with my Arcs. I’m assuming Sonos wrote their code to CEC specifications, and the TV manufacturers did as well. 

Personally I would not allow a recent LG TV in my home because they are extensively monitoring viewing habits, network, WIFi, and speech. The only way to minimize this reporting is to keep the set powered down when not in use. To start your inquiry search for “lg sharing personal data privacy”. 
 

At this writing I have not investigated the reporting habits of other manufacturers.

I’m halfway covered, I don’t talk to myself, and live alone…but that doesn’t stop the extra reported network snooping. I’ll be interested in LG’s response to this. I also don’t use anything beyond Apple TV to drive it, none of the onboard apps, because I’m not interested in any company using my usage statistics in their sales to marketing. That doesn’t, unfortunately, mean that that content isn’t being monitored, mind you, but I distrust the Apple side of things less than others.

You may want to hand me a tin foil hat, too, I’m not sure. Even anonymized, I’m not andious to share my personal info in any way.

I’ll pass, thanks. I suspect they’re already capturing more than necessary via their TV’s….

Doesn’t  make me happy. Had I been aware at the time, I’d have purchased two Samsungs, instead…but honestly, there isn’t much guaranty there, either. Corporations are slippery, and things change, often, in support of profitability. 

Sony yes…Samsung a hard no. Had too many issues with Samsung and judging from posts in this community I’d say I’m not alone.
