Using HDMI dummy as an input?

[remerge]

Hi,

I have a fairly recent LG TV with nothing physically plugged in (except power of course!). I only use it to stream content over wifi. The problem is that because the TV has no inputs connected, it often defaults to Cable-in, which is just LOUD white noise.

I was wondering if I could use some kind of HDMI dummy to fake an input so that the TV defaults to that instead of Cable. I know this is not the intended use case for HDMI dummies (unlocking remote desktop, mining stuff, etc.).

Has anyone tried to use one of those as a display input? Or any better suggestion?

Thanks!

The tv should have the option to remove the cable input from the home screen so it never switches to it

Those dongles simulate a display, so connecting a display to a display is unlikely to do anything good. You'd need a source. Not sure what else is out there.
