Hyacinth Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 My mom recently got a new tv. She doesn’t have any apps like Netflix or Prime and she just wants plain old cable programming. But to get to her plain old cable programming with this tv requires two remotes and multiple time-sensitive steps of scrolling to the right input, plugging in the channel….its a lot for her current level of cognition. Is there an easy way to turn her smart tv into an easier-to-use version? A setting maybe? I’ve put the word out in our neighborhood FB page for an old dumb tv if anyone is unloading one, but I’d like to work with the currently mounted one if possible. Thanks!

Katy Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Probably. I know I set up a TCL tv to do this. There were options deep in the settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Here’s a video for setting up for cable or cable box on a TCL tv. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyacinth Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Thanks Katy. that video sent me down a shallow rabbit hole where I learned to reset the factory settings and NOT connect to the internet. Voila. A dumb tv. Exactly what she wanted. 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
