Are there any Happy Stuff TV channel(s) that I can program as defaults? Knitting, kittens, panda bears, food, travel, museum tours, antiques, etc.
An easy default channel for those people who use TV as company, background noise. (For examples: my mom, her boyfriend, my uncle.)
The default channels (Fox, CNN, local news, crime shows) are horrifying. Fear, outrage, gore, drama, political ads.
No wonder the boomers are acting insane.
Of course, I change the channel to some happy stuff, if I can find it. Which delights my mom and her boyfriend. But such programming is not 24/7. When the segment is over, cue channel surfing, and it's right back to horror show.
I don't have TV, so don't know how to Chromecast, Roku, Apple TV. (I've been reading up, but haven't experimented yet.)
Tangent: I just discovered my mom's been paying $250/mo for triple play. Outrageous. But given the givens, I'd happily pay $100/mo for curated commercial free Happy Stuff TV cable channel package.
Similar boat, have to look after my parents now and the difference between my father watching Fox News (well...any news these days) regularly and not is night and day. He's far more angry with it on, its just nonstop outrage and cynicism. I'd love to find something that would satisfy his desire to 'stay current' without the overreaction and FUD, but maybe he'd just go looking for it anyway.
