In-room TV has a USB port, but the provided remote doesn't have buttons for it. Can I use a universal remote to solve the problem during my next trip?

Accepted answer

I've owned/operated a few 'smart' TV sets and invariably their firmware sucked: the UI was horrible, the interface was slow, few formats were supported, built-in subtitles failed to load, etc. Therefore the only real solution is to take an HDMI-capable device in your luggage. This can be a phone with an HDMI port, a laptop, a tablet, or a separate 'TV Box'. If you usually avoid taking your devices on vacation, I'd suggest grabbing a TV Box - some of them are smaller than a pack of cigarettes, weigh less than 200 grams, cost less than $50, and ship with a remote control.

While I'm sure some sort of a universal remote could solve your issue, I highly doubt it would be as convenient as a separate device.
