Simplest TV

[BRUN]

My grandad is really struggling with his Sky TV, his memory is going and sometimes he just can't work it. I'm wondering what our options are, a new TV with built in freeview would be good, but is their anything else available that we should consider ?

Changing av inputs is probably too complicated so I'm not sure he can deal with an additional box unless the TV can be set to come onto that input by default.

Any particular brands of TV easier to navigate than others ?

I think free view built in is going to be the easiest you can get mate.

TBH if he struggles with Sky mate I'm not sure what he'd get on with..

Sky isn't that user friendly though. Freeview will be fine.

What about a Logitech Harmony remote?

All done using activities so just press 1 button to turn everything on and to the right input etc.

Sky has one of the simplest interfaces in my opinion. Tivo is terrible, so don't go for that.

Sky is nothing compared to freeview though. Could easily see why an older person would find it confusing.

A tv with free view is literally button one for bbc1, button two for bbc2 etc

For simplicity, Freeview > Sky, 100%

Sky isn't simple or initiative. For example, if I press "TV Guide" on my remote, it doesn't open the TV guide. It opens a menu where I then have to select TV guide, again.
I prefer TiVo, however both platforms interfaces are crap in the grand scheme of things.
