Totally agree. The fact that Apple forces you to use gestures for
certain operations on the Apple TV 4 means universal remotes aren't
nearly as usful as they were with previous generation Apple TVs. My
opinion of the Apple TV 4's remote is similar to my opinion of the
infamous hockey puck mouse of the original iMac. Both suck in some
*extremely* important ways!
