[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried to set my parents up with a new TV and they found the interface impossible. They couldn't understand the buttons on the remote, they couldn't tell when an icon was being selected on the screen, there were way too many clicks between the home screen and actually watching something they want to watch, and there were ads that they didn't understand were ads. They have simple preferences and if I could pre-set a number of shows they like so they are one click away, that might help.

Is there a product like a Roku specifically designed for old people who don't need a lot of options and can't handle a normal TV? [b]Maybe something that makes the interface more like the olden days of TV where you turn it on and suddenly you are just watching PBS unless you change the channel?[/b][/quote]
That’s called cable. Sign them back up.[/quote]

OP my husband and I must be "old people" now, we did have to just go back to cable. We couldn't figure out smart TV![/quote]
