All

I have everything setup the way I want it with my i3 nuc (running windows 8.1 + XBMC 12.3) and harmony 650 remote except one nagging issue. I use an hdmi switch. In this switch, I have the nuc, my directv dvr and another media player (mede8er med1000x3d). The HDMI switch is auto-sensing so it normally switches inputs based on the signal it senses.

Now my problem. When I use the harmony remote to switch activities ( completely shut down the nuc and turn on the directv DVR) my switch doesn't appear to sense the nuc is no longer outputting a signal. It's as if the nuc is still outputting a signal even though it's off (not in sleep mode but off). If I turn off the TV and DVR it still does not sense the signal. The only to fix it is for me to manually go to the hdmi switch and select the proper input. My mede8er media player does not have this issue. It's as if it does a better job of announcing it's presence to the switch when I turn it on.

My question is, is this a problem with the nuc or maybe my switch. I didn't have this issue with my switch when it was just my DVR and my mede8er.
