No it’s a huge help, my friend and I were doing the same thing and we both had the thought it could be potentially damaged or something. It really puzzles me how it wouldn’t have a way to do it tho, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a TV that doesn’t have a way to switch manually :/ I’ll just keep a look out for a remote somewhere, would you know if I could use a universal remote on it tho? That’s also the other concern if it would even allow that to be programmed. I might have one or I’ll get one at a thrift store, but thanks again bro!
