Comment on Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family
xaxl@lemmy.world 1 year agoThis is much more hassle. Apart from having to actually set up and configure such a device, every time you want to use it you’ve got to switch it on, switch your TV input and use a different remote to control it. This is far inferior to just using the TV remote to open Plex and navigate with the same remote. That’s without considering that Plex is more polished and has an overall better UI as well.

I only use my TV with an AndroidTV box (never without it), and always just use the Bluetooth remote that controls the box. Linking the devices through HDMI-CEC makes the TV automatically power on/off when I power on/off the box. It even lets the TV remote control the AndroidTV box through HDMI, but since I’d rather use the box remote which I don’t have to point at the IR receiver, I only use the TV remote if I ever need to change audio/picture settings.
