Hate to say it but the Apple wallpapers are nice

NoManCanKillMe

nice list

maybe you can help me with an issue: Unlike the Firestick remote it seems that this remote can't turn on the TV and the Soundbar (JBL) at the same time, if I go to the settings I can assign the power button to the Soundbar but then I can't turn on the Chromecast or the TV, if I assign the power button to the TV or Chromecast then the Soundbar won't turn on.

The firestick remote seems to be able to turn both at the same time using bluetooth (or wifi, not sure) for the stick and IR for the soundbar, this one doesn't seem to be able to do that

or am I missing something?

How do you plug in a usb storage device and still power the chromecast? Pretty sure it only has 2 ports, HDMI (male) and USB-C for power.

Good guide...!

This Bluetooth remote also works with the Chromecast with Google TV:

This remote's mouse-mode works with the Chromecast with GTV, but the voice button doesn't work, but this could be an option for some people.
