The Nintendo Switch has been out for just over three-and-a-half years now.
That time has flown by and the console has gone from strength to strength with a constant slew of impressive games and the fantastic indie support.
However, it's not a perfect machine. When compared to the current-gen consoles it's underpowered, and that's not even considering the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
There are some smaller annoyance too though, things like how your Switch always takes control of your TV.
Why does your Switch automatically control the TV?
The thing about this feature is that it's actually quite useful when you want it to work, but infuriating when you don't want it to.
The reason that this happens is because of a feature called HDMI CEC, a fancy feature which a lot of TVs have.
This makes your Switch a little more intelligent and it'll match your TV when in the dock, which is what causes it to change the input.
Sometimes you just want to put your Switch back though, and not worry about accidentally interrupting the TV show you were watching or someone else's game.
