I need a new TV because when we moved my daughter's ex-husband helped and he gave away my TV and a few other things of mine.  Don't ask, that is whole other thread!!!

My daughter is pushing for a TCL HD Roku Streaming Smart LED TV with HDMl/Ethernet Cable.  To me this is a foreign language!!!!  I keep telling her all I want is a normal TV, no bells and whistles, call Direct TV which I love, hook it  up and I am good to go.

I went on line and checked that foreign model and I couldn't believe everything I was reading about it.  Sure, it sounds great for someone a whole lot younger than me, I have no desire to try to understand or learn how to use all that technology. 

She keeps telling me how great it is and we can save money by not having to pay for service.  I tell her I will pay for Direct TV, it still goes in one ear and out the other.  If I lived alone I would just go ahead and get what I want but we live in the same house and she is somewhat controlling...okay, she is a lot controlling.   Since it is for my use and comfort how can I convince her to back off and mind her own business?

Some of you may very well have one of those thing-a ma- jigs and love it and that is great, but I am not interested.  When we visited friends in Colorado a few months ago I was introduced to Alexa in their house, talk about weird.  I did get to like her but that doesn't mean I want her in my house.

If enough of you side with me than I can show her the posts which may convince her she is being overly pushy and she just might give in to what I want.  I am looking forward to your replies.

You can still use these televisions with just Directv. Your daughter can switch when she’s watching.
