So I then went back to my TV expecting to just connect as per usual, but NO, I had to log in to their archaic Fred Flintsone -mod edit- type system to watch something I had already paid for! Up comes the keyboard on screen, enter your e-mail addy, etc etc, how -mod edit- bad is this, and how "old hat" is this, it's 2015 ffs, I just gave up, unbelievable really!

Sadly, it's not just Netflix though OB. All the tv apps I use have the same awful type system, it really does bug me for the few minutes it takes to sign. It should not be such a chore.
Considering we had Nokia mobile phones which slide open and had full qwerty type keyboards available to type on over a decade ago, it is a shame the same can't be done with remote controls (US style TIVO remote excluded obviously).
There are many worse things in the world, and thankfully I am not effected by anything currently. This is definitely a first world problem!
