We've got a couple of smart TVs and with both of them, the remote is a standard type that has numbers, x-y arrow buttons and various other function buttons. The difficulty we have is when internet access is required (e.g. channel 4 on demand), when you need to search for a service/site on the www and enter login details. Using a standard remote with x-y arrow buttons to move the cursor and select keys to type is just painful.
Do any smart TVs come with a proper mouse pad type controller with physical/electronic keyboard built in? If not, can anyone recommend an aftermarket solution?
I've tried apps for the phone, but they seem flaky/s*it.
Thanks.
Bill.
