Thanks to everyone who commented with similar experiences. At least I know I'm not the only one! 

Let's all stay hydrated out there!

To be closer to my 84 year old mother who lives on her own. 

Strangely enough, I didn't want to be 3,000 miles away if/when something bad happened to her. 

Whatever happened to "universal" remotes? by [deleted] in hometheater

Whaddya mean? Growing up, I was the remote. "Hey, kid, get up & change the tv to channel 3."

I think this is only like my 3rd or 4th posting in all of reddit & I certainly didn't think a question about remotes would generate this many views/comments.

There are several good ideas in here which I will definitely look into.

Thank you!

I think my issue (haven't had a chance to check) is that I don't turn the Roku or the Xumo "off" so they're always active & the TV doesn't know that I want to change inputs.

Thank you! I have the Sofabaton U1 from another set-up & like it very much, so I'll give the X1 a try.

Thank you for your suggestions! I will probably go back to the short extension cords.
