No, a TV is replaced when it dies, regardless of the years, all of my are older than 10 years.

Same applies to everything else electronic that I own.

Isn’t that even more of a reason to keep the smarts out of the TV and have a separate box? Especially since the AppleTV and all modern TVs support CEC so you can just use the Apple Remote for everything.

While the Apple Remote natively uses Bluetooth to communicate with the AppleTV, it does have IR to control TVs that don’t support CEC.
