It seems that many don't realize at least Samsung and LG both have an option (albeit buried deep in the menu structure) to turn off the smart TV functionality. One of the first things I did on my new set. It now powers up set to a single input and my AppleTV takes it from there.

Where is that option for LG TVs? I don't think I've ever seen it, but my LG TV is a few years old now so it might not have it yet.

Awarded you a point for this top tip. Really hate my samsung tv’s software. Because of that I use an apple tv to control it anyways.

Sounds like I'm hunting through menus on the weekend....
