You could have a look at the Logic LDR v3 which is available from Currys online (not in store) for £60 - it's part of the government digital switchover assistance scheme for eligible OAPs and disabled persons. I know it has some features on such as audio description and subtitling but not sure about the physics of the control although the Ricability report suggests good usability - see http://www.ricability-digitaltv.org.uk/pages/products/stbs/index.asp?Product=Logik%20LDR%20V3

Thanks Adrian & Andy. Unfortunately these two don't let you navigate the programme guide. My client is fairly high level user who wants to find out exactly what is on what station, use BBCi, etc, etc.

Looks like the RNIB easy to see universal remote control which has 7 buttons, and is currently out of stock can do freeview, and usefully lets you programme functions to different devices EG you can set the volume controls to send to the tv while the channel selector sends to the freeview box.

Not too sure if it works with freeview or not, but there is this one:

Dear all
Can anyone recommend a big button remote that will give access to the programme guide on a freeview set plus dvd etc? My client has a Zennox which doesn't seem too helpful.
