We just moved Elderly mother/father. Before move they only watched digital broadcast. During duration of move to our town and then into their smaller home, they got used to our TV with apps. They have asked if we can set up a TV with just a few apps. Can I configure a TV where when powered on, only has choices of a few apps, to reduce confusion? Animal apps, mainly.
The apps installed are linked to the Roku account that the Roku device is linked to, so if you create a Roku account for them and only install a few apps, that's all they'll see other than the cruft ("On now", "Continue watching", "Recommended for you" or whatever it's called) that Roku keeps trying to foist on its users. There's only so much you can do, but I'd recommend adding a PIN to the Roku account so that purchases can't be made and channels can't be added without it. Also, don't use one of the Roku screensavers that advertise channels/apps (like City Stroll). Inevitably, they will unintentionally install one of the advertised apps and wonder what's going on.
