Mythtv supports CEC, but I am not aware of any graphics adapters support
it, so you will need to use one of the adapters.  I do believe that a rpi
supports it with no extra hardware required.

The real problem is the tv manufactures all implement it differently. I
have LG tv's. they call it Simplink.  It doesn't fully support the CEC
spec. So I can't reliably use it.

I have also had mix results using the pulse8 adapter.

Unfortunately, since there is not standarization, I am afraid it is gonna
die.  I was so hopeful for it.
