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.
HDMI-CEC is supposed to correct these problems, too bad Apple, Roku, etc, don't use it. The Fire TV almost works perfectly, I just can't get the home button working.
