oklah, seen u so cham.. i give u some tips. But u gotta very hardworking toteach ur mom how to use it.

1st. Buy a android box (any brand) cheapest is MK808 around RM130.
2nd Buy a wireless mouse.
3rd Its for your mom. Open browser in the android tv. search for azdrama.info . Tada! you can watch all the tvb and korean drama in 720p quality for free. Wait.. your mom need immediate showtime like Astro on demand?! No worry, go download a chinese app at play store call 风云直播 。you can watch direct live telecast of TVB, TVB HD, J2 and more channel
4th It for you! Install XBMC, insert add on Navi-X and you can watch the latest HD movie and live tv all around the world. plus its free.
5th It for you and your mom, if you still not satisfy with tons of show. Go play store install app call AMO TV.

It is so simple to use even my dad know how to use it to watch live sport in HD.

I think with this you can stick to TV whole day long.

hope it help you to save money.

1) I wont say better than Astro.  User experience wise, Astro
still better. If you dont mind a bit hassle, then ok.
2) Yes. You pay get better quality served to you lor. You use free,expect lower quality and lots
of hassle searching for good contents.
3) Those require dish pls dont buy anymore coz all the service closed down. Only left internet tv streaming options now.

if for your mom, I suggest you pay some money and get easy access for her.

PM me I have a superb working MK808 bought for RM250 selling off for RM99 only. Just plug into your TV and do what was advised and you can watch everything.
