Are there 3rd party remotes for these TVs? Or is the problem that there is not even a general "pause" command now?

I got an old TCL(don't get me started) and when the original remote died I got a noname IR thing that is even capable of switching to a custom channel.

At least on my LG C1 my old Logitech Harmony still does a good job.

Note though that the native remote uses Bluetooth or since other radio technology and the Harmony uses infrared.


Third party remotes do work on most TVs, I use a Nvidia Shield Remote on my TCL over bluetooth for example. I cannot however turn the TV on using that remote. Having a dedicated Play/Pause Button is still worth it however.
