New TV for nearly blind person

[Dribbles]

Hi all, my gran is 92 and is nearly completely blind. She is finding it increasingly difficult to use the remote control. I was looking for some advice on some technical solutions to help her. She records terrestrial TV on a Freeview recorder.

I was wondering if a firestick with Alexa support or a TV with this built in would allow her to verbally change channels, volume and record programmes/access catch-up? It would need to be fairly simple to do.

She already has an Alexa that she can make it it do simple tasks.

Thanks for your help

Thanks for all your advice. Yes I had thought about just catch-up, but you are right - i'm not sure she would be able to navigate to her programmes. Yes I think a simpler remote would help, but she wouldn't be able to record tv I suppose. I will let you know if I find anything that works!
