I ended up un mapping my Netflix button on my shield TV remote because it was super annoying for accidental presses.

Do the manufacturers even get a cut for promoting these services, or is this just what people want?

How did you do that please?

And heh, no cut, dummy. They get extorted. Netflix wouldn't agree to allow the hi-res streaming to their devices otherwise.

Didn't think about that, that makes so much sense.

I use Buttons Remapper and set the Netflix button to do nothing and override system. You don't need to pay for this but there is other stuff locked behind a pay wall.

Thanks! Will definitely help.
