When non-tech people(ie my folks) set one up, you end up with the 3 remote thing for a cable box, receiver, and streaming stuff. It's real wild - I just let them turn stuff on when I'm over there.

I do audio work but they took my brothers recommendation on the home theater so I'm a bit 'you made your bed' about it haha.

It's three remotes (TV, Apple box, AVR), but if you setup HDMI-CEC, it quickly becomes one (the Apple box). It's not like you're fiddling with the others' settings every day.
That sounds well set up. My mom's flaw is she's actually good at troubleshooting and tech so finds the weird solutions instead of addressing the actual problem lol
