Basic Remote Control

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

I got this for my mum in law:
One For All Simple TV Universal... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009NRCGY4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Works great and is programmable, so can have channels working sat box and volume working TV.

HTH.

Would the Flirc work on this stb or something similar?
Any remote could be used to programme it, with only the minimum buttons active.

or maybe this (which I know nothing about)
