I really don't want to... but

I am basically tech support in my house, because I am the only one with extensive knowledge about anything electronic.
When we lost internet a while back we also lost the cable so for the longest time we were doing the antenna thing just to get the local channels so we would have something to watch (I even had to set those up). So that was fine for a while until we got internet and possibly cable although I didn't care about cable much and wanted to cut it out completely.
So last week we finally got internet (yay)!
So that means that I can actually stream stuff now which fixes the cable problem. I already had a roku streaming stick that I have had for about 2 years now, my mom just got a roku for her Christmas present from work, aside from having to set up her roku we should be straight.
Sunday, we decided "hey, why not get SlingTV so we can have some other channels to watch other than basic channels" (my mom has really been missing her CNN). Okay, I have no problem setting that up, it only took a few minutes out of my day. Aside from my mom calling me a few times to go over how to use it, she pretty much has it down now.
Now if you know me, you know there are 3 people in my house; so 1 person was left still watching just local channels. So I hear last night, my mom telling the other person about the roku (and they [not my mom] are already call the "expletive" thing a "ruku") so that is already a red flag. The major red flag is that this person knows NOTHING about technology, they have a smartphone that they have had for almost a year and still don't know how to work it fully.
So my mom told them about the roku and the slingtv that of course I would have to set up and constantly have to go over how to use with this person. They are now trying to figure out if they wanna go get it and if they do the rest of my day is gone.
I REALLY don't wanna have to set up another roku, but I may not have a choice because they will complain to my mom if I don't.
(I realize that was very long and I apologize for that)
