When an IR remote starts putting notifications on any and every phone that happens to be on the network that let them very easily fuck up my streaming experience, then it may be possible to start drawing parallels. Until then, they're very different concepts.

(And CEC is a curse for those with AV systems of even moderate complexity.)

Your roommate didn't even have to be on the same network to mess with the IR receiver. They just didn't think of it I guess.

I'd still say its 99% having a shitty roommate. I don't know why you'd excuse their shit behavior on having a button to do it.

Eh. I've had a few dozen AV setups of "moderate" complexity (multiple game consoles/streaming boxes, AV receiver, BD player, TV) and never really had bad experiences. Often things just work when I've turned them on. And honestly most of the time with things running my OG Chromecasts its the only actual device on the setup (a stand-alone TV mounted someplace like in the garage or kitchen or patio).

Did the TV B Gone manifest itself from nothing and present that manifestation on my asshole roommate's personal pocket computer with zero action on their part?

No?

Then we're done here.
