> Remote controls. Why are they terrible? They're the pinnacle of 1980s consumer electronics technology. Or, well, they're close to the top of the digital electronics we put into analog TVs, anyway. > Why is no one fixing them? Because "TV" manufacturers haven't fully internalized the idea that all screens in a consumer's home are, fundamentally, display devices for various computing equipment, all of which is likely on a WiFi LAN, or should be. Some of that computing equipment includes an ATSC tuner, and is likely built into the display itself, but we have HDMI for a reason.
