When I disconnected it from TV all started working. When STB was connected there was usual communication with rpi (cec-client dumps everything when changing source etc..) but there were no commands from remote even in cec-client. As soon as I disconnected STB everything started working again. There is solution to cut wire that goes to pin 13 on HDMI cable that goes to STB and Ill do it (my STB doesn't use any of CEC functions). Maybe this will help someone.

LG WebOS CEC functions (or Simplink) have the same problem. Lots of people complaining about this with their DVB/Satellite receivers when Simplink is on. Furtenly CEC still works with Simplink off and all the issues disappear (know that 1st hand since i have a WebOS TV).
