Re: Mother-in-Law has Alzheimers
Thanks, I've downloaded Virgin TV Go App & when the box is on I can control what she watches from our house even though I'm not there, can also switch it off along with the LG tv, but can't switch it on, that has to be done at her house, once it's on no problem, trouble is she can't switch it on, have told her countless times just to press the top right button on the VM remote that switches both the tv & steam box on simulationiously, will keep trying50Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mother-in-Law has Alzheimers
We're not there yet, she lives on her own, no carers yet but her 3 siblings visit every day, anyway, I've checked the camera, she had VM Stream on it was on Challenge tv, she was watching Family Fortunes & after that Bullseye with Jim Bowen, it looked like she was enjoying it, the screen did say continue watching, she didn't realise, rang & told her to press ok, which she did, still watching it now, we'll see what happens next, I think it'll remain on until she goes to bed around 7pm72Views0likes2CommentsRe: Mother-in-Law has Alzheimers
Thanks, I've tried her on the voice control, it's ok whilst someone is with her, but she just forgets to use it, it's easy just to use the on/off button to switch both on & off at the same time & just use the numbered keys to change channels, she likes Countdown & The Chase, so will tell her to press 3 for itv & 4 for channel 4 at the appropriate times, thanks for your input, I'll try her just on the tv to see how that works78Views0likes0CommentsMother-in-Law has Alzheimers
She is 93, memory terrible, had Sky Q for years, now she really struggles with it, doesn't look at recordings didn't even know what Sky Q is, the remote is programmed to switch the LG tv on but she gets really mixed up I decided to get VM installed & a Stream box, it's been a month & she's not used it until yesterday, I showed her the remote (Alot less fussy then Sky), got her to switch the tv & Stream box on simultaneously, next problem the Home Page, wanted it to be as simple as it can be, I said to her once it's on press whichever channel she wants, she was ok whilst I was there, but when I left & viewed the cameras she really was confused (We have cameras at her bungalow) When I arrived she had 4 remotes on the settee, I especially told her not to use the Sky ones, she forgot, is there anyway to get rid of the Home Screen & just have the channel appear? Is there anything I can do to make it easier for her, it can be a nightmare with her & technology188Views0likes14CommentsDo Engineers keep to appointments
As above, we’ve got an appointment booked for today between 1 & 6pm, it’s an XPON area & the connection will be done from a pole several other houses have been done without issue, it said that the work outside will have to be done before the inside installation, but outside hasn’t been done yet. I spoke to VM twice & they say it’ll all be done on the day, do you think it will be? Hopefully it will🙏🙏104Views0likes4Comments
