As many of the regular, patient, informative and kindly people here, have figured out, I'm always so far beyond the understanding curve with modern technologies* - and you
always help/put up with me
This is following on (still) from various historical/hysterical previous posts, regarding f**ked hearing and confusicating TV remote controls etc, etc.
I don't like to accept being beaten by a TV and its Remote Control. And I'm a bastard to myself for getting angry, as it's probably old age, but I like to dress it up as a simple reaction to effing shite poor, user tech interfaces and really overcomplicated communications design?
Am reluctantly but realistically sucked into the Apple world since 1998 when my stepson suggested I'd find Macs more intuitive and therefore easier than Microsofts. (fairly latest iMac, iPhone, iPad, Airpods now adorn Snowdon Towers
)
Having bought what I considered to be a very huge silly big f-off 43" LG 'smart TV** ~3 years ago, it's lain mostly dormant because I can't work it out. For many many reasons, not least the
so ugly horrible menu interface and overcrowded tiny buttoned (most of them being irrelevant) remote control.
Would bunging money on an Apple TV 4K box streamy thing, free me of the obnoxious Web OS interface on the LG tele?I only need to access BBC iPlayer, Mubi, GCN+, BFI - and perhaps C4 on catch up (trying to navigate out of all the overwhelming other unnecessary shit, really freaks me out)
(and I think/hope I may have my entertainment audio problems/issues rectified by previously suggested Airpods Pro jobbies)*
although have finally come around to ignoring the ugliness of disc brakes to reluctantly appreciate the actual stopping effect and not having to clean rapidly deteriorating alu rims this winter**
Only just realising that a 4K tele has a reasonable narrow ideal distance viewing window - and 6ft works well here
