@burgerdrome Don't know which smart TV you have. So far, mine stays out of my way possibly because we have cut the cable/satellite and rely on streaming. It does offer one tremendous electricity/environmental benefit. If I have a light on in the room it will charge the remote through a "solar" panel on the back if I remember to turn it over. The manufacturer makes a selling point of this being environmentally friendly. The remote also takes a Type C cell charger.
