Just discovered this stuff—it’ll knock your socks off!
We get to label our favorite items in the store I work in as our “picks”. This is mine!
What is the easiest version of TV (other than cable) for a 96 year old?
My grandma is 96 and lives in an assisted living apartment. It’s a nice place. The facility includes basic cable in their monthly bill; however, they recently changed their contract and some of the channels are gone.
I’ve talked to the facility, I’ve talked to the cable company, there doesn’t seem to be a way for her (and only her) to get those specific channels back. I’d like to get her something like a Roku or Firestick—but she’s 96 and not very tech savvy. She will not be able to switch between regular TV, the device, and back to regular TV. I’m certain of this.
She wants the local PBS channels, CBS, the History channel and TCM. And a couple more but those are the really important ones.
Does anyone know what device or extension would have all of these channels? Or does anyone have an idea for a good workaround? She’s my elderly grandma I want her to have the shows she’s used to and likes.
