I am running a freshly installed Mythbuntu 14.04 on my ECS Liva:
3.16.0-50-generic #67~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 22:07:51 UTC 2015 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It boots fine and runs until I turn off the TV. When I turn the TV back on
the screen is blank. The problem is well described here:
http://extremelycashpoor.com/2014/11/ecs-liva-setup-part-3/
I tried the fix from that site but it does not seem to work for me plus
having a constant "ping" is not exactly a nice solution.

I have a short script that fixes it - kind of. I use irexec to execute it
every time the TV turns on. Biggest problem is it pops up the display
settings on top of MythTV and I am not confident it will work every time -
low WAF!

[code]

#!/bin/sh

#Fix TV state when HDMI link is lost.

xrandr

sleep 5

xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto

[/code]
