So my Grandmother moved into a home, and she has had Sat. for what seems forever now. She has that down, but can not get digital cable down.
Her remote is hard for her to use. Ones we have bought the same. Programming her TV is a bitch not thanks too - and . s put in numbers like 8.3-1 or 9-123 balbalaba
Tried now 4 different remotes she just can't get the damn things. She is pissed and bitches about it EVERY DAY!
I was talking to my mother, and I think there is a huge market for shit needed like this.
My idea is an OLD SCHOOL BOX maybe 2'' thick, 10'' long with Huge ass buttons 1/2 long, 1/3 wide sits 1/8 to 1/4 off the box for easy use for someone losing their site, or use of their fingers. Click buttons that stay down till released by pushing another channel button so one could just feel what channel they are on if needed. Program all the channels with a computer, because their is just too many channel, and of course you have to buy huge packages to get channels you want say like the western channel.

I don't think I have the skills needed to make this. I have thought about it, because if I could convert a Keyboard with a way to get it too work on a digital cable box for a remote. Cause I don't have the cash in the least to just have it made even in chia.
LOL
Which leads me to your guys/gals ideas :P
My Mom is thinking about a voice activated remote. Are those any good these days?
