Economical and Easy to Navigate Smart TV Box Option

AnirudhD on 06/01/2022 - 08:24

Hello everyone,

Hope you all have a lovely year ahead.

I am looking for a smart tv box option with an easy to use remote for my 65 year old uncle which has various streaming services available. Live TV channels would be a big plus.
He lives in SE suburb, VIC.

Thank you.

    Amazon firestick with a custom launcher to make the home screen ad free and bullet proof to your dad's requirements.

      Amazon Firestick is the least easy to navigate box I've ever used. Killing an app is a 15 button press process, vs just two gestures on Apple TV.

        Do you have a custom launcher installed?

          I doubt the average 65 year old will be able to install or troubleshoot a custom launcher on a Firestick.

            @AustriaBargain: You set it up for "uncle" then it's so bloody simple and almost foolproof. I've done this for my non tech savvy wife.

            No ads. No unnecessary bulltish.

              @Muzeeb: While on that screen how would you kill the SBS app if it froze?

    Vodafone TV, Foxtel Now Box (hacked to eliminate all the Foxtel guff and with a custom launcher) or similar.

    ie - something that has inbuilt tuner so you don't have to switch inputs to go between Broadcast and Smart TV

    Cheapest and economical way is to upgrade his TV to smart TV.

    I've been eyeing Wechip Air Mouse, it has USB and programmable infrared (USB is required for air mouse function).
