Used to be you turned on your TV with a knob, changed channels with another knob, changed the volume with another... that's it. Then the remote came, then cable (etc.) boxes, VCR's, DVR's, etc. etc.
I visited my mother yesterday and she was trying to get her TV to work. I couldn't even get it to work. She has a biggish (32"??) analog TV and a converter box and indoor antenna, two remotes (TV and converter box). A facilities guy at the place she lives opined that the tube was bad. Even if it is, she needs a TV system she can turn on with one button press of the single remote and move up and down the channel list, that's it.
What do we need? Digital TV? Cable? Keep the indoor antenna?
Absolutely the simplest solution!
