The proliferation of these dumb buttons is annoying. At least make them reassignable; I have TVs that have buttons for services that no longer even exist.

It's also often a symptom of the TV UI being so horribly slow that there's no other reasonable way to get to the service.

I wish I could get rid of some of the buttons on my controller now, I have absolutely no use for the Disney+ channel or its button.
More fake news from bullshit merchants. Maybe in 40 years enough people will have died out that this nonsense does not sell...
