Maybe an odd question, and the wrong place to ask?

Anyway my Grandmother keeps hearing us talk about Netflix etc and says she would like to watch it too.

Thing is I don't want to over do it and confuse her with too many steps to get to what she wants to watch, and then change sources back to her normal tv source if that makes sense.

The Roku remote looks simple enough but I've not used one personally? Amazon fire stick maybe more confusing as it front loads Amazon ads and content if I recall. Don't want her to miss step and buy stuff :D

Also I think my 9.99 Netflix sub may allow me to have her share my account?
 
Yeah, she'll be able to use your Netflix

Might be an expensive option but how about a new TV with all the smart stuff built in. On my Samsung, you can access normal TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Youtube etc all from the main menu without having to use differrent remotes/switch inputs.
 
My mother is in her 70s and manages to use a Fire TV stick for Prime Video, NetFlix, iPlayer, as well as a few other on-demand services. It required very minimal training.
