Have Smart TV, Cable TV, Apple TV, MacMini Running Kodi.
If you turn on or off the Cable, it operates the powerstrip to turn everything on or off.

To access the programming on the smart TV you use the smart TV remote.
To switch sources you use the one source button the the smart TV remote to cycle thru them.
Cable TV uses the cable TV remote
Apple TV uses the Apple TV remote
The Mac Mini uses an Apple Mac Mini remote (different from Apple TV remote)
The volume/mute on any of the remotes operates the volume on the receiver for surround.

If you turn off or reboot the mac mini it automatically runs Kodi media app on restart.

My 90 year old Mom that can't operate a smart phone can use it just fine.

Had one of those programmable touch screen remotes for a while. It took a while to program all the necessary buttons and features from all the remotes the first time but thankfully you could save the setup once done. Once setup it was the easiest to use by far. Mainly because you can position and label all the buttons. Got to be a hassle because it killed the recharable batteries often even with the charge stand. Then the setup had to be re-loaded.
