My Apple TV HD used to turn on automatically when switching to it via Anynet+ on an old Samsung tv.
I understand that since tvOS 13, only the MENU and TV buttons (and their related CEC equivalent codes) wake up the Apple TV. So, currently, under tvOS 14.3, my Apple TV HD is no longer switching on automatically when using the tv receiver, and I have to switch it on by using either the Apple TV remote or the iPhone remote widget.
I found a solution by teaching Apple TV to learn my tv remote; however, even in basic setup, the arrow left, right, up, down, etc. commands, once learned, conflicts with the tv own menus and commands (using the down arrow to change HDMI input also moves down in Apple TV, for example). So, as an alternative, I reprogrammed the basic buttons by using "fakes" physical buttons for everything but the MENU button, which finally switches the Apple TV on.
It would be however much simpler if an option could be added to the Apple TV software so that, for owners of old TV sets like me, the functionality to switch the AppleTV on from "any button" is added back, as it was prior to tvOS 13. Or, alternatively, that just a single remote button could be learned by the Apple TV (instead of 6 in current basic setup).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards.
