One football game, two ways to find it on the same TV, with a clock and a count of every press.

First the DirecTV remote: the guide, then scrolling through the channels until Texas turns up. That took 56 seconds and 11 presses, and it landed on a commercial.

Then BoomerOS, the simple TV home screen we're building for our parents, on a tablet remote: Watch TV, Football, Texas vs. Oklahoma. Three taps, and the TV turns itself on and finds the channel. More on BoomerOS.
