          One button for everything on the damn TV. I want volume and input at least. I lost the remote again.

            I haven’t bought one in like 15 years but modern universal remotes are pretty cool. The Logitech Harmony remotes do all kinds of cool shit, though they require a computer to program and they are not cheap. Then there’s always the old dumb universal remotes that get the job done and cost like $10.

            I didn’t mention anything about buttons? I like buttons. Buttons are nice.

              Oh my goodness. I didn’t think I was going to get worked up about this. The last three TVs to enter my house have a weird joystick. None of them are in the same place. None of them work he same way.

              Give me 6 real buttons: power, input, channels up/down, and volume up/down. Access to the menu would be great, but isn’t as high a priority.

      Could you possibly tap into the speaker output inside the TV, and use it as a high output for an amplifier? Or possible get some kind of analog to digital converter perhaps?

          Huh, that’s the first I’ve heard of stripping an audio signal from an HDMI cable. Makes since though, it’s just digital audio going through copper none the less. What’ll they think of next?
