But same here...I use Netflix and such apps through the TV/Console, Tivo just takes sooooo long. Plus through the TV I can access the 4K content. Whether I'd use the V6 to access 4K might depend on how quick that little fella is. |
Optical should be fine with most newer TVs, but many older TVs don't pass 5.1 sound via optical for attached devices.
For people, like me, who connect many devices directly to the AV amp, a Harmony remote control, using 'Activities', makes switching devices very quick and simple.
