Research shows that fewer than one in three people actually use the "smart" functions of their TV sets. I'm one of them. All I want is TV. I don't give a rat's patootie about streaming HULUFlix or any of that other crap.

I turn on and control my set with the DirecTV remote, but have to turn off the "smart" function with the TV remote every time I turn it on. PITA but since I can't turn the "smart" feature off (or haven't a clue how to if it's possible) I'll just hit that big colorful button every time.
