Universal remotes are too easy.
It’s important that you have 3-4 remotes and an ultra complicated receiver setup with no discernible way for anyone but you to turn on the tv in your house lol 😂...
Universal remotes are centralized garbage. Real freedom is 4 remotes, 1 ancient receiver, and a setup so complicated that only you can turn the TV on. Guests get a black screen. You do the secret button ritual and it works. That’s self-custody entertainment.
