And not always anything to do with the TV.

I have BT TV (https://www.bt.com/help/tv/learn-about-tv/bt-tv-boxes) and the UI is painfully slow at times (UI response to a button press of 10-20 seconds), searching is horribly slow.

Can't wait to ditch it for something more responsive (probably Sky Stream).

I also miss an old TV that had a "q.rev" button to allowed you to switch back and forth between two channels with a single button. Perfect for skipping advert breaks (which is almost certainly why most entertainment systems don't have it any more).

The mute button is the next best thing.

Advertisements become much less irritating when silenced. I'm surprised so few people appear to mute advert breaks.

		Yeah, that's the next best. I taught my kid to mute adverts from an early age. It really winds up one family member who works in TV advertising, so that's a bonus.
