Ok. So, since I’ve found out the vizio sound bar I have doesn’t support Dolby 
atmos, I feel better about upgrading the remote only. I’m hoping that with the 
new remote and voiceover, I’ll be able to navigate easier up and down rather 
than just across. Also, I seem to be entering the rotor by accident with the 
old touch screen remote. 

Egun On, Lagunak! (basque for G'day, Mates
