So D2h box had stopped working from past few days & I have been trying to get to their customer care. No response to emails and submitting grievance online. I can totally understand the situation - so for now have reduced it back to basic tier and trying to check option to pause services and see how I can manage.

I have totally moved to streaming services & this TV/D2h is used by my mom to watch literally 5-6 channels, for which I am paying close 250-300. I have tried to set up an old android tv box and see if she can get used to Hotstar/Zee5 etc - but being in her mid 70s she finds it tough to manage.

Though d2h box may get fixed. I am not too happy with their service - and I am likely to dump them once this whole fiasco is over.

So, just need some suggestions as to how best I can make things work. Is another DTH provider the only solution - Any other streaming stick/box that will be more smoother and help her access Star/Zee problems more easily.
 
No app can come closer to ease of use these stb offer. I wish fire stick n android tv offer options to make it act like one on startup.

Most easiest i have found is favourite option in oreo tv app. Select all the channels as favorite from multiple categories.
You have to open oreo app and goto favourite by pressing one down key and 3-4 times right key.
You find all preselected channels at one place.
Best part its free without any app ads.

Alternatively you can book Tata Sky (just don't pay advance).
