Q: QuestionAre there included stickers to put on the 4 buttons at the bottom of the remote to indicate which app they get assigned? Can we choose which app to assign to each button? Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, Youtube TV, Amazon Prime, etc.

Asked 5 years ago by PS5Guy.

• A:Answer There are no stickers for the buttons. The buttons shown were more than likely sold to the highest bidder and the final remote will come with those 4 services on the buttons.
