    People actually use the tv remotes? I used it for setup then took the batteries out and dropped it in a drawer somewhere.

    HDMI-CEC does all the input selection and on/off that I need. I don’t use the TV for sound. I don’t use any ‘smart’ function of the tv at all. That’s all offloaded onto some other streaming box of your choice. If I watch something physical then I have to walk up and put a disc in the player anyway and doing that kicks on the TV and receiver etc.

    I don’t have a cable/dish/whatever package. My parents do and the set top boxes have their own remotes and you can get those to control the tv if need be. A remote stops working? Call the company and they send you a new one. They own the set top box most of the time and that includes the remote for it…make them replace it.
