We are actively investigating and developing both a software and hardware solution for this problem. Stay tuned!

that would be really awesome... especially if there could be bidirectional support (i.e. turning tv off => suspending xbmc; turning tv on => resuming xbmc; suspending xbmc => turning tv off; resuming xbmc => turning tv on).

Have Bravia Sync TV (HDMI-CEC) so would love XBMC to work along with my BD Player.

Also, despite CEC being a standard, most major manufacturers have made it so their version of CEC (Anynet+ Bravialink etc) do not work with any other manufacturers version of CEC.
This will probably make it very difficult for the XBMC dev's to be able to 'talk' to all CEC equipment, even if there were graphics cards with CEC HDMI ports.

My samsung TV's (anynet+) manual clearly states it only works with other anynet+ devices and from the little bit of googling I have done, that has been confirmed by samsung on their forums.
But if I am wrong and it does work across manufacturers (how it is supposed to), then that's great.

This would be something really nice and an absolute must. Since we all have a TV-remote of some sort or another.

It sounds like Samsung and Sony each have their own "unique" implementation that makes them incompatible with each other.
Has anyone tried to get the two to work together? Are the specs/commands even available from the manufacturers?
I once tried to get Sony to provide the communication info for a RS232 port on their receivers. After a few dozen emails and escalating it to everyone I could find the end result was "buzz off". Not a good experience (I don't buy any Sony product now) and very indicative of how open Sony is. :mad:
"absolute must"? With manufacturers bastardizing the spec and the lack of detailed information would make this an "absolute bust".
