Why do some manufacturers of devices not actually think things through when they make decisions on how these devices are going to act.
An example is my TV, its a Panasonic TX-L42ET5B that is about 2 years old. I use it in conjunction with my Onkyo amp, so have my HTPC, Virgin, Blu-ray and PS3 connecting to the amp and then a single HDMI to the TV. As I do not use terrestrial TV due to not having an aerial I set my TV up to automatically turn onto the HDMI port instead and the TV lets you do this but will only turn on on HDMI1. The TV also has smart features and so I thought I would use it to watch a film on Netflix, I went to my amp and turned ARC on so that I could have the sound through the amp instead of the not great TV speakers only to discover that the ARC HDMI port on the TV is HDMI2 only.
Surely common sense dictates that the same HDMI port on the TV should be assignable to both of these functions.
Anyone have any other little annoying things with their devices?
