For that, she uses the Elan remote because the audio goes through the Elan amp. But given she would rather use the Apple TV app for all other control, makes me realize her age are going to prefer apps over remotes.
The reason i asked that question...
Maybe the issue isn't that she prefers the single apps vs control systems. Maybe she just prefers the smartphone/tablet control. If thats the case i bet she would prefer a single UI page where she could control the AppleTV and adjust the volume at the same time.
My nieces and nephews have so many gadgets to watch tv and listen to music "smartly". Then they come over to my house and see my boring URC remote where they can press one button to turn everything on and they are amazed. Their table full of OEM remotes is a device full of apps. Nothing has changed. Our industry is still cleaning up wall and coffee table acne.
