    Yes, and no. For example, my Samsung TV makes me wait while it tries to recognize whatever I have plugged into the HDMI port, as opposed, oh I don’t know, just displaying the fucking signal being fed to it. Annoying as hell.

      Wait for how long? HDMI devices need to handshake with the TV so there is always a delay unfortunately. It’s not just a good ol’ video signal anymore.

        It’s at least 30 seconds. It’s possibly trying to phone home and hitting a timeout, though there’s no Ethernet or Wi-Fi, so not sure why it would bother.
