    Hi
    Does anyone know of a very basic TV remote control ( on / off, vol up/down channel up/down) that an elderly woman, living alone, currently struggling with basic TV operations could avail of?
    She is currently with Virgin, so it needs to be compatible. Currently she has 3 different controls and is causing huge confusion resulting in often being left alone with no TV service.

    Thanks in Advance

    My wife got something similiar for for her parents recently and it works well. Its a one for all big button remote bought in Argos for about 17 euro.
    They had a combo box with soarview and satellite channels as well as the tv remote. This replaces both remotes.
    Her next option was the big button remote from the 2 euro shop.

    It's going to be very much dependent on the Virgin TV box.
    If memory serves the Horizon box uses an RF remote and it may fairly hard to find a simple replacement.

    That said the Virgin Horizon remote can be set up to control the TV as it has built in IR.
