Helping Grandparents With Their TVs In Milton

Do you love the HALLMARK™ Channel? My Aunt B LOVES it!

She watches for hours each day.

Once, I asked her: “Aunt B, with all of the time you spend watching this channel, aren’t you seeing the same shows over and over?”

“I sure am, honey!”

We both laughed. She said they make her feel good—the loving families, blooming romances, and picture-perfect holidays.

Especially now that she’s in her eighties and unable to participate in some of these happenings in real life, these shows keep her going.

(Retirees shouldn't need an electronics degree to enjoy their favorite entertainment. People often ask me: how can I help my grandparents watch their TV shows?)

Unsurprisingly, I’m not a huge Hallmark fan. So, when I visit her to watch TV, I put on a Netflix documentary—usually BEGINNING with a couple falling in love, before descending into a dastardly murder.

My Aunt B actually likes these Netflix shows, but finds operating Netflix confusing. In my family, several seniors are having trouble using TVs.

I want her to have the best, so I tried many approaches to expanding her viewing options—a streaming stick like Roku, YouTube TV, and accessing Netflix through her cable box (and more!).

These are all possible, and when it comes to my Aunt B and my clients, I set up whatever configuration they most enjoy.

My Aunt B ultimately decided to stick with the tried-and-true cable box she’s had for decades. She feels comfortable with it, and that makes me happy.

If you have a loved one who’s having trouble accessing the shows they adore, give me a call, and I’ll figure out a solution.
