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....

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

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.
