    I really hate this fucking trend of them putting dedicated Netflix and Hulu buttons on remote controls. I refuse to buy anything with this “Feature”. You absolutely cannot avoid advertising on every…single…fucking…thing.

        I use a jailbroken FireTV HD; and I have to keep buying used remotes off of Ebay (the 2nd gen remotes). I don’t have a chromecast modern enough to have come with a remote.

          it’s both hilarious and sad that you have to jailbreak your remote to get it to not have ads

            Yeah, I don’t have to modify the remote at all. It’s a FireTV remote; just from the previous gen. The jailbroken FireTV is just so I can sideload AndroidTV apps.

      I remapped my Netflix button to Plex and YouTube to SmartTube. I suppose I could sand off and repaint them.
