How can I stop the smart TV remote controlling the neighbour's streaming stick?

Our answer

Re-pair the remote to your specific device and avoid universal IR control frequencies where possible.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
