CEC. It's nice, but if and only if all of the relevant functions on your device can be controlled from the TV remote. My Sharp dumb TV (actually a Hisense since Sharp quit the US market) has several buttons that ought to be sent to a device but aren't, which limits CEC's usefulness with my Kodi setup. I ended up putting an IR receiver in the box (a Raspberry Pi running OSMC) and using an RC6 remote instead.
