1) Attach them by wire reel to the device.
2) Attach them by Velcro(tm) to the device.
3) Put labels on them with matching labels on the device

If you have an Apple TV for a streaming device your iPhone (and iPad if you have one) is your remote control.

I use 2 remotes.
One for the LG tv and regular programming and the 2nd one is the ROKU remote. I use the LG remote to switch inputs to the Roku deivice then the Roku remote to select the tv apps like Sling, Netflix, prime video (Amazon) and pluto. The one I use the most is Youtube.
I go to Youtube on the computer and click on the Subscribe button for the shows I watch.

TV tuner, antenna rotor, Fire box, DVD player, 4-way HDMI switch, home theater sound, projector = 7 for me. Plus rc lights, so 8.

If you have a laptop w/good graphics, say a gaming type, just get the signal off the internet (Hulu,etc.) w/it, and then run an hdmi cable to the monitor. You can get several inputs, say you have a hulu and youtube. Handles them all pretty quickly. And you can really mess with mess with the graphic and audio options.

You have the remote for monitor on/off and overall sound, and that’s all you need. Sometimes you can mute a long ad series (I hate most ads) and check the hockey game, etc.

Two remotes. Want to turn the TV on. Want to turn the Roku on.

And I really don’t need a remote for the Roku. My smart phone will do the trick.

I’ve got two. Well, four if you count the actual TV remote which is only needed for setup and the occasional adjustment and the Sony blu-ray audio/DVD unit which is only really need for DVDs that we don’t really use anymore.

Otherwise, it’s Tivo & AppleTV. With CEC enabled, everything turns on at once regardless of which remote/input is used.

Get rid of your entertainment addiction. Learn a skill...grow a vegetable. Read a good informative book.

I have a laptop connected to my 50 inch TV via HDMI. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard. I watch just about everything through my laptop. I am surfing FR right now on my TV. I can surf the web during commercials if I’m watching TV. The only remote I use is to turn on the TV (which also turns on my surround sound receiver). After that everything is a click of the mouse. This works great for me.

I only need one remote for each TV because I buy all Samsung components. So the TV remote also controls the sound bar and the DVD player.
