> Even a simple remote is better than mouse+keyboard for an entertainment center

where you going to find a simple remote anymore?

The only things simple are the giant keys marketing dedicated to partners (like the youtube or netflix buttons)

I want a skip forward button!



Apple TV remote has it’s problems but at least it strives to be simple. Magically it also controls enough amplifier and projector (I don’t know how, hdmi signals?) so I don’t need to touch any other remotes on daily basis.


apple tv itself can be controlled over HDMI-CEC with TV's remote, if the TV supports the mappings


probably hdmi-cec
