I agree. I have similar aged parents. I advised my dad to get one of those Android TV boxes, and I can't be happier. I spent an afternoon setting it up, getting all their streaming apps in the right place, and the number of TV related tech support calls went down to 0.

One remote that controls everything, it has like 5 buttons on it, and one of them is a netflix button. Fantastic.

And now my dad feels like a tech wizz whenever he casts a photo/video from his phone to the tv when he wants to show his friends something.

This article's solution feels very brittle and cumbersome, which will probably increase the tech support calls.
