This is the better idea. Make sure they keep up with the old remote though just in case you need a button the basic one doesn't have.
Yeah, keep the original remote somewhere safe. You will need it anyway because the channel order changes or some bullshit by its own. Also even with a remote like that my gramps managed to fuck everything up but it happened way less often.
This doesn't work. I tried it. They sit on it or something and hit the wrong button by accident. Then when they call you for help, you can't talk them through anything because they can't see the buttons. Then when you take the tape off, the remote is all sticky.
No, grandma. I'm not going to be an enabler for your Fox News addiction.
And when she has a newer system that navigates primarily by d-pad? :)
