    I uninstalled all button mapper apps from my Google TV, and you should too

    From the first Android TV unit I bought in 2015 to the Chromecast with Google TV and now the Google TV Streamer, nearly every streaming box I’ve used with an Android-based operating system has triggered my one pet peeve: branded buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and/or other services.

    I don’t have a Netflix subscription and probably never will. I have a YouTube Premium family sub, I get Amazon Prime Video with my Prime subscription, Apple TV Plus and Paramount Plus with my local French Canal Plus sub, and I also have a huge Plex server with dozens of shows ripped from old DVDs. Having a permanent button imposed on me for a feature I’ll never use on hardware I have paid for irks me to no end, so I always and immediately installed Button Mapper to regain control over that button. I even paid for the Pro in-app purchase to access all features.
