Must have broke itself at some point. Not fucking with it, so disabled it. Sound still works on Atari VCS.
The universal remote wasn’t able to change the input with a macro either. Was, then stopped working again, don’t know if it’s working right now or not.
Maybe that’s a TV problem. Good luck getting a non slow TV, they call them “smart” TVs. Depends what you want, if you want a 58″ or so 4k TV 60 Hz, and doesn’t matter if it has HDR even, well there’s zero new consumer TVs apparently in the US that aren’t “smart”. Business TVs? Rip off. Projector? Bigger rip off.
Tech is a scam anyways. How much does it cost anybody to make anything in China? They barely pay those people anything. Take Apple for example, and look how marked up their shit is.
They all are likely doing the same thing as well, if it’s manufactured in China.
