My dad appreciates that I've got several movie/TV apps on there that simply require him to launch the app and use the voice search to find what he wants to watch. Apps like Netflix are usually foolproof since the app autoupdates itself.

We have 3 Kindle Fire HD's (and 3 Fire's before that) - great tablets and I literally never have to touch them, from a support standpoint. For TV, we have 3 Sony BR players that we had long before we cut the cord so we just used them everywhere except for on my Vizio, which has smart apps built in. The only place we had a gap was in the mother-in-law's room and because of my experiences with the tablets, I bought her a Fire Stick.
I think the voice search might be a big part of the experience. Her stick was the one right before they added the voice remote. I had to show her at least 2 or 3 times a month how to find Hulu and Netflix because the apps are buried in the Amazon-centric UI.
