T9 shouldn’t be able to help you type passwords! It’s predictive.
Wait, there are T9 remotes??
I think it’s a joke but this would be a real game changer if so
Lol they actually do make “universal” remotes with oodles of buttons that work with all the standard streaming boxes
I picked up a used Sony TV (Android TV) and the standard remote is what you’d expect, but it didn’t come with it so I decided to see if there was one with buttons I could buy instead when I was looking for it’s replacement
Imagine my surprise when there was lmao
I also saw some for Rokus and firetvs
A long long time ago, cable tv remotes had over 50 buttons.

I haven’t had a TV in like 15 years, what do they look like nowadays?
A lot less buttons; this here is a generic smart TV remote. A lot of streaming boxes have the bare minimum.

It’d be disingenuous to say all remotes are like that, here’s a newer looking one with many buttons. A major “feature” of most new remotes are dedicated buttons to various streaming services, Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc.

And here’s a pile of old remotes I found while looking for the first two pictures.

Yeah the first one makes me think that it’s at most for speakers.
Weird.
Thanks for teh information.
Wait, there are still t9 remotes that work with modern TVs?

Kodi can do this with the number buttons on a TV remote.
note that it can do it but whether it actually does or not depends on your individual install and if the CEC demons are cooperative.
