BTW there have been loads of updates and the tv is working fine now with
none of the glitches I was having after buying it just before lockdown
in March 2020......hate computer driven TVs though....so slow and
clunky...but not bad for £260 .....

Yes they are all a bit slow. I particularly notice it on the samsung voice.
Sometimes it will glitch for no good reason on trying to read a menu to me.
Its as if they have not got the time slicing quite right between the
operating system and the rest of the set.

So deleting your newsreader app / account would make you feel happier
as you would then have to use computers less.

Go on, you know it makes sense!

How flexible is the USB port on the unit ?

You could fit a USB IR Blaster receiver.

But what would the TV make of it ?
The TV needs to recognize whatever pattern
is sent to it.

With a universal learning remote, you can
copy the pulse patterns into the remote. But
it copies an IR remote to an IR remote. It
would not be able to copy an RF remote to
an IR remote.

The fifth picture down on the sidebar, shows a cheap
item with too much functionality. You want just the
receiver portion.

This is just the receiver part.

You still need a remote that sends IR light to
make this work, and the remote either needs
to be the right brand, or a universal remote
where you can (somehow) program it with a file
from the Internet.
