I wish someone would figure out how to Frankenstein the controls for a 1984 era TV set onto a modern TV. My parents are basically unable to use their TV without writing down lengthy instructions on how to switch from cable to Netflix to live local news using 2 controllers, and I still get tech support calls nearly every week owing to Wifi issues, someone accidentally activating an obscure accessibility setting, or other random issues.

The easy solution is to lock the standard remote away and buy an aftermarket one that has 4 buttons.

I noticed that once I stopped responding to my parents questions about how to do all the switching, as soon as there was something important, they figured it out on their own.
