Are blu-Ray players capable of turning on the TV on their own? The TV was not on when I went to eject the disc, but when turning on the Player, the TV turned on, and nobody else in the house had the remote.
yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Electronics_Control
samsung calls it anynet+ i think, and there other other brandings for it.
JEDIT: i hate the tech myself, and turn it off when possible.
