Too many remote controls

    Hi,
    I don't know if I'm posting in the right place so apologies if I'm not. I have an elderly mother who has recently changed the TV to a more up to date one, but in doing so she now has three remote controls to contend with, one for turning on the tv, another for saoir view and another for the English channels. She's just not able to cope with all of them which means she's stuck watching the same channel most of the time. Is there any way of putting everything on the one EASY TO USE remote? I know its possible to get universal remotes, but they're complicated looking and I've yet to see anyone successfully tune one in to a tv.

    I'd be grateful for any suggestions

    Does the new tv have Saorview capabilities? I'm guessing she is using a Saorview STB? The TV could possibly replace it and therefore reduce the remote count by 1.

    I use a universal remote but its one of the more advanced Logitech Harmony ones. I have it for my TV, amp, Freesat box and PS3
