Others wanted Netflix but couldn't understand how you joined. Some folk cannot understand modern remote controls so leave it to their partners. Others cannot cope with iPlayer and ITV Hub.

I am 72 and record on the V6 and use Netflix and Amazon Prime and have recently acquired a Chromecast to stream Disney+ from my phone BUT when I sit down I want it easy and relaxing. I find some modern technology is going in the opposite direction.

If you search for your Netflix and Amazon programmes in the 'search and discover' part of your menu, you can bookmark the show and it will appear in 'My Shows'. That way, accessing your streamed programmes is as easy as accessing your recordings.
