Silvarios,
Very true. There is a time and place for having smart features. I like their convenience. I power up the smart features, hit the TV Audio button on my Denon receiver's remote and I'm all set. No additional devices. No additional remotes. Works like a champ. The only reason I use NetFlix on the AppleTv is because of the multiple user feature. If it was just me using NetFlix, then I'd use the TV's app because of the convenience. Same goes for my older brother and his smart TV.
That said, also easier for some people to deal with smart features and a single remote than multiple remotes and changing inputs. My parents and my father-in-law fit into this category. Same goes for many of the senior citizens in my building. Unfortunately, they all have trouble managing a single device and remote. Factor in multiple devices and remotes and it becomes a nightmare!
I can't even tell you how many times I've gotten a call from my parents, father-in-law or a neighbor in the building because the screen on the TV has static on it. The reason is almost always an input problem. Someone changed the input by accident and didn't know how to change it back.
