We are Indian family which can barely afford anything above basics, we been using CRT since forever, the last TV we had was neighbors CRT which they wanted to throw after getting smart TV.

I got a job abroad and started to upgrade the QOL of our family step by step, washing Machine, mixer grinder which doesn’t trip the electricity, wifi connection, door mats, bedsheets… you get the gist of it.

My dad is a cinephile, watches movies most of the time, wanted to see him happy while watching movies in Big screen, So i got 55" LCD LED 1080p 3D sony technology Smart TV. Everything was fine for a few days when he was searching old movies uploaded in YT and watching them. Then he found out he can watch shorts in them, at 7PM, 8PM, 9 PM and 24/7 with full fucking volume. We have lost peace at home, all i hear is an AI voice speaking in loop with no ending and no sense. Which is driving my mom crazy and she is pissed off at me for ruining her sleep, and a few neighbors have already complained to her about the spooky music on loop at 2AM.

If we bring that topic up, he gets offended. I have never told him to change any of is behavior since i could speak. We never tell him anything out of sheer respect for all that he has gone through for us.

Please help me handle this without offending him or being rude.

TLDR: Got a big android TV, now dad watches YT shorts at 2AM with full volume. Save us.
