Anyone ? Do i need to setup any h/w for this to work or does it work without any modifications to Pi.
My Sony TV specs say it is HDMI-CEC compatible. I am confused.. would like to get this to work if possible.
Any help is appreciated.

On the TV have you turned on "HDMI Control" under "HDMI Settings"?

Have you tried a different HDMI cable? I had this problem with a Sony TV and a better quality HDMI cable fixed the problem.

Yes i did try with another HDMI cable that i had but it's still the same. When i went into external inputs on my Sony screen i see the RPi listed but when i
connect it fails. Do u mind telling the HDMI cable that works and where u bought it.

Double, are you enable the CEC in the RPI? I have the same problem at first connection, enable CEC and everything works.
