My mother is finally moving into a retirement lodge after 70 years in the same house. I'm wondering if there is a remote out there that will help make her life easier. Her cognitive abilities are fine (recently she re-wired a lamp and changed a faucet in her bathroom), but electronic gadgets have always confused her.
One of the things I'd like to find her is a remote that I can programme to scroll through only the channels she watches. There are about 15-20 channels she regularly watches, but they're all over the place. Does such a feature exist? Also, so that it's easier on her hands and eyes, it shouldn't be too small.
Any other suggestions for a centenarian-friendly remote would be very much appreciated.
If a remote requires a connection to the internet to programme, it is preferable that it's MAC OS compatible.
Thanks!
