    Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam

    It would be pointless with my mother, anything involving technology developed after the 1980s goes were in one ear and out the other.

    She never could work out the VCR, I never even bothered with a DVD player.

    They need to invent a “smart” TV that can be remotely controlled, so I don’t have to come around every time she wants to watch another episode of big bang theory, which apparently is the best show ever.

      You could get a used pc for cheap, doesn’t need to be powerful. Plug in in to her tv, then set up her streaming services on there and then set it up so you can remote into it.
