no hgtv or food network on youtube tv. hmmm.
i'm guessing they're on another provider?
locals are available in my area - that is a plus

it looks like alexa can be used instead of the roku remote. i'm guessing i
can get youtube tv through roku
might be onto something here....
thanks chuck

Roku has remotes you can talk to. I never use that feature but my kids do.

Subject: [AFMUG] talkable remote
My mom has been suffering from a decline in vision in recent years and has
become more reliant on tools such as siri on her iphone
(siri - read me my messages) ; amazon alexa (which tunes into certain radio
programs for her) and google hope (this is in her hallway, not sure why).
we've been discussing an alexa option (since that is in the family room
where she sits) that might interface with some type of tv. right now they have
charter and they don't have a talkable remote. she has a rather large smart tv
and can see the picture on it but can't really see the remote to work things
"manually".
those of you tinkering with new tech, is there something that interfaces
with alexa that could then talk to a tv box? How about a new receiver from
directv or something with a voice remote? How about streaming / over the top
tv with a voice remote?
Thanks in advance.
