To you and me they're just as easy to use, but certainly not to everyone.

Android boxes are way easier to use than cable boxes. Took my parents years to understand all the 50 buttons on the remote. Don't even get me started on when input settings get changed or the remote only turns the box on and not the TV. Years I say. I still remember the nightmare when HD came out and the channels on Shaw changed to be in the 200's.
Recently got a Mibox for my mom. Thing has four directional buttons, and ok button, and a back button. She picked it up in an hour.
