As an aside, I set up my Yamaha pre to run a TV source everytime I use Pandora, Spotify, internet radio or Bluetooth. I'm running a Harmony Ultimate so I have an activity for both 'Spotify with TV' and 'Spotify only' etc. It works exactly how it should, so I'm happy.
This industry is not getting cheaper and cheaper, we're simply convincing ourselves that we have to push the cheapest option to customers. #makesonosgreatagain
