My parents are thinking about cutting the cable TV cord (gasp!) and watching live TV using an internet box.

Have you seen that older folks are happier with the Roku system/remote or the Apple TV system/remote? They most likely will be using YouTube TV the most.

(I would typically recommend an Apple product to them but I’m worried they would get frustrated with the remote.)

@tvaziri the older folks in my life seem to prefer the Roku remote to the Apple one. Whenever they’re at my home using my Apple TV, there’s confusion. Some amount of it is pure familiarity, but some is also the physical dimensions of each remote object and the finger dexterity required.
