Cheap remote to rip Netflix off
Hi all,
I just found this cheap AliExpress replacement remote for the NVIDIA Shield:
https://a.aliexpress.com/\_EJd0FoI
It claims Bluetooth + voice support, but I am wondering about the IR functionality.
The original NVIDIA Shield remote uses Bluetooth for the Shield itself, but it can also send IR commands to control TV volume, power, soundbars, etc.
My question:
Can these cheap AliExpress remotes also be programmed to send additional/custom IR commands besides Bluetooth?
For example:
• Bluetooth to control the Shield
• IR to control TV volume/power
• Maybe even programmable IR learning/custom codes?
Or are the IR functions usually fixed/basic only?
I mainly want to buy one so I can physically destroy the hated Netflix button without risking damage to my original NVIDIA remote 😅
Has anyone tested one of these clones in practice, especially with the Shield 2019 Pro?
Thanks!
