He's blind in one eye and can barely see with the other and has for the past few years driven both the Mrs and myself nuts by clicking on the input button and getting completely lost at least 3 times a day not to mention losing them under his chair at least once a week .
So...I bought one of those 12" long by 5" wide remotes at Harbor Freight and son of a *****, IT WORKS with both the TV AND cable box and the sound bar and the input button isn't located right by the  on and off button . 
I'm pretty sure he'll find a way to screw it up ,but for now it's solved multiple problems at once for $6.99..

I love old folks.  They have a way of bringing bygone things to life in a way that simply reading about it cannot do justice.
