Is this cable directional? By any chance, is this cable directional? For some reason, I can't get my Sony TV to recognize an additional HDMI input from my AppleTV.

No, the cable is not directional. Make sure you have the correct input selected on the tv, and that the Apple TV is powered on.

No this is Not directional, it can be used either way, both ends are the same so it doesn't matter which end goes to which connection! But make sure you don't need a special connector for you Apple TV, it is the right connection for the Sony!

Did you check your TV's SOURCE for input from the Apple TV? I had the same problem and that resolved it for me.

It's the cable and not your equipment

I don't believe any HDMI cables are directional in the sense that signals only travel in one direction however there may be HDMI cables with different connectors on each end for special uses but I don't know. The cable I bought has normal HDMI connectors on each end and is not sensitive to how it is plugged in.

It works both ways. Not directional

Blacky · Answer

No it's not directional. If your tv doesn't recognize it make sure you have your TV set on the proper input.

Sounds like a software issue.

Never heard of HDMI being "directional". Could be something in settings on one of the TV's?

No, this cable is not directional. Make sure to try multiple HDMI ports on the TV and make sure all devices involved are turned on.

No they are not. You must have a bad cable.
