Very much this. My grandparents can grab the regular old tv remote like they've been doing for 25 years and browse netflix on the tv like regular channels.
Convincing them to use a smartphone, search on the tiny screen, play, and then cast to their tv is impossible. I don't blame 'em.
I use Xbox One as a media center, works very well.
- rconti 10y agoOh god. Don't get me started on how horrendously complicated my Harmony remote was to setup. Plus, once in awhile it goes haywire, which makes my wife's ability to use the system 10x as difficult as it would be without the universal remote in play. Because I set the system up, I understand its quirks. But when it works 99.9% of the time, the other 0.01% of the time is too difficult to train a novice on. Whereas, in the old days, we'd both be using 7 remotes to accomplish any task, and be more or less equally proficient at it. Practice makes perfect.
