Suggestions on IPTV boxes for seniors ?

by ArmandoUrso

Any suggestions on IPTV boxes for seniors ? I'm trying to get my parents away from their current TV service that there getting robbed on and switch over to an IPTV service.

I need some suggestions on good boxes. I use a Sheild TV but I'm not sure if that'll be too confusing for them.

They don't really use the EPG guide. They just search via channel number and a peice of paper that they have. Numbers on the remote are a must.

I'm just worried about pop-ups for software updates or other confusing things to happen. Mabey staying away from Android is a better idea ? Are mag boxes any good ?

Formuler is probably your best bet...even buzztv....firestick with implayer or tivimate is also pretty easy

I’d say Mag (if compatible with your service) followed by Formuler as far as least complicated. Your own familiarity with the Shield still might make that the best choice.

Personally I’ve never given my parents anything I don’t use myself. Even then they sometimes surprise me by wandering into parts of an interface I’m not completely familiar with.

Lastly, if your parents can afford the “overpriced” service they have now, maybe you shouldn’t rock the boat.

Get the dreamlink T3, it's easily the best IPTV box around.
