My siblings and I are planning on buying a new TV for my dad this fathers day. He currently has an old CRT model in the 28inch range. Bought Mom a 34inch a couple years ago and I think he is jealous.
Dad is 87, eyes as good as they once were. My pickle is the remote. Comcast forced this Xfinity crap down our throats here and the remote that comes with the cable box has about 50 small buttons. I am hoping that someone out there makes, and someone here knows of a remote with the basics, volume, change channel, hopefully in larger text on the remote. I do not think he watches dvd’s or vcr tapes on the television. I really doubt he can read the onscreen guide from his chair. He has a few shows he likes to watch (polka show! 
) and all the other “fluff” that comcast offers is of no interest to dad.
Seems all the remotes I have looked at start at the comcast remote and get more complicated.
Any suggestions?
