  1. Would have preferred if they kept the technology to play content from the remote that came with the tv. Not everyone has a smart phone and not everyone with a smart phone wants to use it for a remote while they are doing other things with it. Should have fixed allshare and made it work correctly and added this as an additional feature instead of replacing allshare.
