    I don't watch tv anymore but if I did i would want something large enough to read the menu

    Integrated free view so no need for a separate box

    1 remote control with as few buttons as possible 

    For me also Alexa control as it is so much easier once you get to know how Alexa works

    I can't recommend one but please check the reviews on a couple of sites to find out the quality of the menu/programme guide on screen.
    I'm using an older Bush 24" and the tv guide is illegible even up close and with my new glasses on.....it's also very slow to load between selecting a channel and the description of the programme.
    It's exasperating and rubbish.
    I will be looking for another tv even though this works well just because of this.
    Never heard of a basic tv that uses two remotes. That's unusual to say the least.
    Yep sorry one is for a Humax box? think is like a freeview or recorder.

  • Have you thought about an Amazon fire tv, simple remote and can be voice operated.
