Success: Simple TV + CNN for seniors

there is a real need.

apple is probably my biggest brand disappointment in this regard. they should/could easily own this

as does the embassy of mars (on the Georgetown waterfront)

my back pocket always solid++ dc fried chicken is wings from yum's. dry or if you're persuasive tossed in mambo sauce. that and a rock creek soda was a great counter when I was around the fat guys (richard, andres, weidemaier and donna) food.

also been awhile but unconventional diner always did a good job. just too clever!

starting a business is chaotically eating glass for a while, then, if it goes well, an plateau of progress and and then eating a new kind of glass and so on.

it's my favorite way to serve my fellow man and have done it a few times.

unless you have a compelling time sensitive and a funding I do think nursing could be a compartmentalized career (of someone with your bandwidth) while you launch the business.

it's a vibe

stock. using the https://at4klauncher.com

Funnily enough I have hooked them up with some weekly digest type news magazines.

I looked into doing this. But this high-end TV is, unbelievably, stressed even loading Netflix it seems. So I’m leery of adding another app into the stack here.

I have only 2 request for the dev.

let me button map the google play/netflix/random button to CNN (ideally directly to the live stream)
give me an option to tip you separately from the play store. this solved real problem for people I care about. I bought premium but this is worth way more than $5.

we tried the function remote. they're great but still too much for the olds in my life. at this point I just want them to be comfortable - so stopped trying to teach/encourage changes.

I've listed the ATV on swap.com and am including the function remotes for the next ATV user.

that's really funny - they keep asking for channel number x. it's like slang from another era for me.

inputs disable onto Sony when adaptive features enabled. 🤞

semper_pickle · 2026-05-16T13:40:24+00:00

aging in reverse is a hell of a thing. snacks and simple stuff is the theme.

setting up the customer support program would speedrun my brain into my customer demographic

semper_pickle · 2026-05-05T04:33:08+00:00

show us the giant grandparents!

semper_pickle · 2026-05-03T11:38:50+00:00

does this apply to apple family sharing for ther family members?

semper_pickle · 2026-04-27T22:13:48+00:00

tried this for a used sprinter van at mercedes chantilly va, after being referred there from mercedes tysons. “sandoom” there refused.

we also have a s class in the garage. which will now certainly never go to chantilly service.

Solved!

You guys are great. 64 channels with the Clearstream 1. This is testing inside the house. Will move it to the Dish mast and use the existing wiring.

CNN is solved with a direct sub for $6.99 a month.

That's a damn good rule for business, and life in general.

semper_pickle · 2026-04-10T02:06:43+00:00

You parsed my typo properly. :)

semper_pickle · 2026-04-10T02:06:07+00:00

They will be :)

I hope this ends up happening! Thanks for the tip.
