I've searched around, and found surprisingly little on this topic, so I thought I'd ask. Has anyone heard of rumors claiming HDMI-CEC support for the Apple TV? I have a new Samsung TV with home-theater, and I can say that one simple feature makes an absolute world of difference to my enjoyment of the system.

With CEC, obvious things just happen. I turn off the TV and the receiver turns off, and I can use the TV remote to navigate both devices. It seems like a pretty small thing for the Apple TV, since it already supports HDMI (although I'm not sure which version). But there must be some reason that they haven't supported it yet. Maybe I should start a petition... :D
