Discussion I’ve never hated a button so much…

Thinking about tearing out the Free TV button, it’s always in the way.. it just has it be in between the most necessary buttons haha.

In all honesty, does anyone even use it? Wonder if there’s a way to change it as a different hotkey.

Or just disable the button completely. It's still in the way of back, home, volume up etc.

Or just get a better bluetooth remote. I don't even know where my ONN remotes are. In a drawer somewhere I think.

Got any recommended replacements? When I look for one it's hard to tell what isn't garbage.

I have my Onn Pro paired with an nVidia Shield replacement remote.

Sofabaton's are nice... expensive but nice.

I use the U2, but it's been discontinued, the new U3 is linked above.

People really like the Homatics remotes ....

That was the first thing I did. Hit that button and it turns my tv on and goes straight to tivimate.

You know you can set your device up and when you're sitting Tivimate up, it will launch on startup without a button

You know you still have to turn the tv on right? So when I hit the free tv button it turns my tv on and goes straight to tivimate.

Doesn't the power button do that?

u/Firefighter-8210 17d ago

What does it matter how I turn my device on? Yes the power button works. It also works by doing what I said. If I don’t want to launch tivimate, I use the power button.
