6 months on, is there an elderly-compatible solution to this? A way to make the UI look exactly the same as the stock TV UI? Remapping keys and expecting my stubborn, lazy 65 year old father to understand how it works isn't going to fly I'm afraid. They need to see stuff on-screen.

Been using ptvl since the first release and wow it's come a long way Luna's amazing. I too am hoping this software ends up being more non-tech people friendly in it's stable release but this is still the testing phase. When I leave say a girlfriend in front of it I still fear something will go wrong. I couldn't imagine letting somebody over 50 use this as their main source of TV but then again I guess it depends what kind of channels you have but for me no way. If I go to work for 10 hours I'd be worried about it cutting off and them not knowing how to get it back on. That being said this project is amazing hope it reaches it's full potential so I can throw my STB in the trash!

Pretty much the same for me. All of my channels are from USTVnow and my library, but channels hang sometimes. USTV tends to just stop playing. When I'm in the USTVnow addon, it'll just kick me out to the channel list. If a USTVnow channel freezes while in PTVL, the entire system locks up on Android and Windows. Not much of a task for me to force close or open the task manager and close Kodi from there, but for my family, it's too much of a hassle if it's constantly happening.

Thanks guys. I might look at it again about a year from now. This extension shows a tonne of potential. Look forward to it becoming more stable and easier to use.
