We never use the remote from our Philips TV. The AppleTV can turn the TV on and off, auto select the right HDMI, and control the volume. I only had the TV online once to update the firmware, not sure that was needed. The TV also have one other nice feature: you can remove the logo, there’s just one screw holding it in place.
