    I’ve got a Fire in the back of mine which I want everyone to use, but everyone just uses the LG interface except me.

    Of course it screws up all the time, and when it does my first question is, “Hey did you try what you’re doing on the Fire plugged into the back to see if it worked on that?”

    Not like I love the fire either, but pick your poison, right? Apple, Amazon, Google, LG. Which large tech company would you like to milk your information?

      I have an old laptop running LibreELEC (literally) strapped to the back of my TV. With a PC connected remote it works great.

      They’ll never use the LG interface again if you just block its Mac adresses from your router.

          To be honest I would, the more they think you can fix anything the more annoying they are about fixing everything even if it’s not even possible. From my experiences in the past I just would tell them there was a update and it stopped the TV from connecting to online and there’s nothing you can do about it

      does the fire stick have the ability to wake the tv up? in that case, just hide the TV remote.
