One HDMI setting let my TV remote run everything — I retired three remotes

Pairing your TV with a streaming stick, soundbar, Blu-ray player, and gaming console sounds great until you realize that you now have four remotes and no one in the house knows which one does what anymore. I had this exact problem until I realized my devices had a solution the entire time. It’s called HDMI-CEC, and now that I’ve enabled it, I no longer need to juggle between all those different remotes.
