Disabling Apps on Telus Optik

[Meld]

I have questions:

1. Is there a way to disable apps on Telus Optik?

2. Is there a way to set the box to automatically come onto the guide or last channel without going through the menus or hitting a ton of buttons?

This is for a new box not legacy.

The new system is not user friendly for seniors. I need the box to hide/disable apps and automatically come onto the guide when the unit is powered up

Does a legacy box have this capability? I spoke to one supervisor who said yes this is possible with a legacy box. Can someone confirm this?

Seniors are not the target  audience. As long as the new GEN wants the pictures instead of words this will become the norm. We have to turn on TV and tuner, then click on guide.

I also dislike when streaming shows, start watching something and it will always stay on continue watching even though you never intend on watching to the end.
