      Never seen or heard from anyone using tape to mask their remotes. Is this really a thing?

      Not this exactly, but my grandparents had a guide taped to the backside of their remotes to make it easier to use.

      The tape strategy has some appeal, though, mainly in that I use maybe 5 buttons 95% of the time.

      After trying to fix your grandparents tv over the phone a few times, it just makes sense to cover everything except power, volume, and channel.
