Unfortunately, no. One of the side effects of his cerebral palsy is nystagmus which makes it difficult to read anything unless the letters are very large.

Something that worked like the original Tivo would be nice. I never had to worry about channels or programs. Once it was set up with my preferences, I always had 40 or 50 hours of programming, I would just scroll down to something I liked and play it, delete it when done. But of course the only reason that was possible is that Tivo "knew" what the programming schedule was for every channel I could receive. (All four of them.) That's not the case with streaming.

I saw a demo of the Amazon FireStick here in Mexico, and it seemed like it would do the job except I think it was too complex for John to use.

I don't think there are any programs that he just has to have. Given enough variety, he would always find something to entertain him. He is easy to please.
