Recently bought a sony smart tv for my parents, it's got built in wifi and comes with the sony entertainment network which includes YouTube web browser etc, but inputting words through the remote can be a pain, so what solution is there? Anyone did something similar with other TV sets? * +

You mean the remote that came with the tv? Then it must be Infrared, as it works without wifi, you mean infrared keyboard? Hmm * +
