I found that the mythtv CEC support was mediocre and didn't support all the
remote buttons currently on my TV remote so I continue to use libcec-daemon
<https://github.com/pssc/libcec-daemon> and lircd

Appears there are newer forks of libcec-daemon that support libcec3
<https://github.com/benklop/libcec-daemon> & libcec4
<https://github.com/HonzaCholasta/libcec-daemon> now also aswell as a ppa
https://launchpad.net/~benklop/+archive/ubuntu/mmc/

Cheers,

Anthony
