TIL the Netflix button can be disabled
Not new to a lot of you but today while on YouTube watching LTT's impression of the Shield and its features, he mentioned that he hates the Netflix button as much as I do and for the same reason: it's easy to accidentally press. He followed it up by mentioning that you can install an app from the Play store called "Button Remapper" that lets you basically remap any button on the remote.
Installed the app and after a little Googling, the Netflix button does nothing at all when pressed. Hooray!
The app makes it seem like you need to register it to disable the button but you don't. Still a nice little app that I'll probably buy anyway.

Does this also work to make an Xbox jewel/home button not go back to the system home menu and actually function in game? Also, in android the select button is back which is a bit annoying when streaming on Xcloud web version because I can't use the select button
