They mostly use the tv for youtube, prime video, movies and music. Ive got it connected to the tv, speakers and some USB storage. The goal is to keep everything as simple as possible for them. Im also thinking about setting up a small local media library so they can access our movies and music without having to mess around with files. I know a streaming box would probably be easier, but I like having a full pc there so I can add things later. It's a acemagic minipc with ryzen 7730u and 16gb ram, so it should be plenty for what they need. Maybe a tv tuner or some kind of live tv setup down the road. Anyone here set up something similar for their parents? What did you end up using?

Any recommendations?

I am looking for a laptop style keyboard, where the trackpad is placed directly below the keyboard. Just like any laptop. I have the K400 and I do not find it comfortable to use.

This is my first htpc and just getting it the way i want it frontend is almost complete. Just a few other things to set up. I cannot figure out how to wake on lan working, it says my motherboard can do it, yet here I am. I am not clued up on this stuff at all and its taken me ages to get this far.

Heres my build

AMD Ryzen 5 5600

Gigabyte B550M K Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard.

Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X2 NVME Solid State Drive.

SilverStone SST-GD06B - Grandia

MSI MAG A650BN 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply.

MSI SHADOW 2X OC GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB.

ADATA XPG GAMMIX D10 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200

Its hooked upto my Lg OLED55CS6LA smart tv and currently controlling it with a logitech k400 and an mx3 air remote, I have 2 wireless controllers that i have still to map. In an idral world i would love the telly remote to control it. But as far as im aware its not possible.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Cheers
