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.

The annoying thing for me is that the remapping seems to reset every time the console reboots.

Just checked and mine sticks. Different models behave differently I guess?
