My first post. Please excuse me if I, uhh..., stutter a little. I'm a bit nervous.

Seriously, mom is 87 years old and in a nursing home 'cause jher remembery stopped functiong and she's technologicaly still in the early 60's and that isn't going to change.

She's using a 30+ year old TV that's ready to die. The ONLY reason she's using this is because it has a drum tuner and that's the only thing she can remember how to use.

I tried her with a new (Zenith portable) TV and virtually any universal remote I could find that looked like it might be simple enough for her to remember and use. They all baffle her and, I gotta say, some of these look a bit confusing to me, also.

I vaguely recall several yearsago seeing a remote that only had four buttons on it, Volume up/down and Channel up/down and probably an on/off button but have not been able to locate one of these. Do they still make these, or something equally simple?

Thanks in advance, Mark from New Jersey.
