Looking for tech help for my dad
Posted on 5/1/19 at 10:15 pm

My dad is 71 and has no technological abilities whatsoever. He is also struggling with memory loss. I bought him a subscription to mlb tv to use on a fire stick that I installed because all he wants to do is watch his Cardinals games every day. Problem is he can’t seem to be able to navigate through using a firetv remote and Tv remote for changing input to switch from the cable box. Is there a way to control mlbtv via the voice command feature on the fire remote? I tried briefly and failed to get it to do what I wanted. Are there any other tech options to help my dad out?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You may want to try a harmony remote for him. Something like this.

You can configure it with your smartphone and it isn't too unfamiliar where he wouldn't be able to use it like a traditional remote. I'm not sure if you'd be able to designate a specific button to watch MLB TV, but you could at least move the app to the top of the menu or list for him to select.

Probably a stupid question, but have you tried writing instructions for him?
