Hi, does anyone own a non smart tv which is 4k and around 48"? I'm currently own a Samsung TV but to use any of the apple TV or game consoles you have to go through their painfully unresponsive smart menus and its driving me up the wall. ive looked online but it's hard to avoid smart TVs, they seem to be everywhere and a lot of options I came across are US only. the budget is upto £400, thanks in advance

Oh, also check if CEC is enabled. I control the whole Tv via the shield remote, it switches input automatically.

Samsung calls the feature anynet

Definitely this. Though annoyingly, the one CEC command I have issues with is turning the Shield off doesnt always turn the TV off too. Only works about half the time. Thankfully, the TV turns off by itself after 2 mins with no signal, but still a bit annoying
