Exactly, we bought my 75ish year old father in law a new TV because he was using a small SD flat panel and his eyesight is going.
But he hates it because there's a million buttons and menus to navigate, when all he wants is to type in the channel numbers.
It even needed a firmware update out of the box and he didn't have a clue why a TV would need new software and immediately panicked and refused to use the thing until we drove 150 miles to accept the update for him
We just wanted a TV that receives terrestrial TV and has a couple of HDMI ports for his DVR which he knows how to use without over complex menus, is that so much to ask?
- Zenbit_UX 6y agoYou probably shouldn't have hooked it up to the internet if all he wants are channels and to keep things simple.
- mavhc 6y agoWhat tv can't you just type a channel number in, or press an input button to switch inputs? If you don't plug it into the internet it's not going to be a smart tv
- silon42 6y agoThe new Samsungs (and others) have a remote without numbers... Thankfully the old remotes still work (and even better).
- defnotashton2 6y agoCan't get new tvs with normal remotes
- mavhc 6y agoWithout numbers on? Could replace the remote with a Old Person Remote perhaps. Just looked for a random tv, it has a normal remote to me https://ao.com/product/vel50fo01uk-veltech-tv-black-66496-108.aspx https://ao.com/product/vel50fo01uk-veltech-tv-black-66496-10... scroll right on the photos
