I want it BACK
No I don't want it buried in shitty menus
No I don't want to use your fucking AI trash
No I don't want to press home for everything
Give me back the SOURCE BUTTON

cause, home is literally just source but with things that are not physical connectors listed, like apps or the onboard receiver. I know samsung smart TVs let you reorder the tiles so that the connectors are the first option, too.

last tv i bought had dvb-t and dvb-s inputs, and you could press source to jump between inputs but you could only have one dvb source on the source list, so to switch between ant and sat you had to go into a deep menu.
that was in 2010. haven't bought a tv since, only buy digital signage displays now and have a dvb card server over upnp/dlna to local renderers.

One of the things I like about Sony TVs is their remotes are cross-compatible over the decades. I can turn on my new OLED with the same remote as my old Trinitrons and vice versa. It also let me replace my remote with a slightly older model with buttons I want like a number pad.

Didn't know they got rid of it, I got a Samsung TV recently and it had it.
