Easiest Way to Stream TV

[uuf361]

This isn't for me and I'm not the most technical so please bare with me.

I'm trying to help my Aunt's Dad - he's 94 and lives 5,000 miles away so all my help is remote and she can't help as she's recently disabled.....

He spends quite a but of time (or used to) watching the Premiership and Championship Football on TV via his normal cable service but they've recently gone to a streaming only solution.

He has no problem paying for it and it's one of the few pleasures he has in life, but I'm trying to find the least complicated way to set him with it. He doesn't a smart TV and does have an old PC but the screen size isn't big enough for the football.

Would something like an Amazon TV Cube be simple and easy to use ? Or is there a simple solution that would be easy for someone at his age to understand/comprehend ?

You will need to find out who owns the broadcast rights for the region he lives in. Then find out what streaming options they offer.

Amazon isn't likely to be the answer.

We'd need to know what particular streaming service he wants to use in order to suggest a device.

I suspect a Roku might be an option depending on his location and service required.

Thanks

This company/service is the one that now shows it in his region:

He's happy to pay for it, I just need to work the most simple way for him to get access to it that's going to be the least confusing and have a decent sized picture....

It does say it works with Roku

Does he have the speed to stream?

Edit.
from the link
"TV
Watch on your ROKU, AppleTV, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick and more."

Going to guess. Buy the device if there is not already a dedicated TV app. Download the app for the TV service and log into your subscription through the app.

I do the same for BT TV.

Make sure the TV can have a device plugged into it.

He definitely has the speed needed to stream (I set up his new internet service a couple of years ago).

I saw it's available on those devices - just trying to work out which is easiest to set up (remotely) and the easiest for a 94 year old to use................so looking for advice on the user friendliness and intuitiveness of them ?

Understood. I use Apple and not sure it would be the best option. The others might be easier. Someone else can answer that.

A little off topic but if I used a VPN, could I use this here in UK? It's well cheap for all Premier league games!

On topic, would any voice activated devices be able to run DAZN?
