Can anyone recommend a tv remote that is accessible? looking for one that is easy to hold due to contracted hands.

I don't know, but I might be interested in hearing about this as my DH has MND (as did his father more than 20 years before him) and we will need various things and adjustments as it progresses.

Sorry you are going through this too. Support and solidarity.

A voice activated one? I shout at *whispers Alexa to turn TV on. Then I use the Sky remote to speak into. Not a fancy Sky package, one of the £15 a month little box things. Would something similar work?

Voice activated? We use Alexa for turning off.

I think if you have the right set up you can also get it to turn on. But you will need to ask someone else about that as I fsiled so far!!

  • we have a Amazon fire stick I can speak to change channel and choose something to watch.
