I'm aware, I set one up a few years ago for my 94 year old great Aunt. Because my screw up 2nd cousin had "lost" the remote to her smart TV.

Being the nerd I am I correctly wired her house TVs up to digital antennas, programmed the channel guides, and correctly set the aspect ratios. I then looked up the codes for her Visio Smart TV and DVD player, then programmed those into a RCA universal remote she had laying around. That was after pulling batteries out of a different un-used remote.

She was happy being able to simply watch TV again with added the bonuses of broadcasts now having channel info and the guide button opening the OTA digital channel guide.

On all future road trips to visit family I pack one of my streaming blu-ray players with a flash drive full of HD movies.
