Very (very) minimalist video add-on skin?

so I posted this thread earlier under "Skin Help and Support" and just realized that it probably belongs here instead, lol:

The pimary reason for buying/using this build is for my elderly relatives to watch a number of foreign channels. I found all the channel streams I need in a single add-on and they work beautifully. Unfortunately, my relatives are not very technologically inclined, so using a mouse, navigating through xbmc to get to the right add-on, then starting and stopping various streams is not very convenient for them.

So here's what I want:
I want to build my xbmc in such a way that I have a list of streams and using say a (very old) adroid phone as a remote that just switches from channel to channel with an Up/Down channel experience. I know it seems like I'm not using XBMC to it's full capacity, but that's all I need!

So here's my question:
Does something like this already exist? Or something similar I can edit? I have an enthusiast's knowledge of python, so if nothing at all exists, some pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

To clarify: I'm looking for specifically is something like this:

watch how at 1:30 he just switches "channels" (basically switching streams) with just one button, whether an android remote or a physical remote is irrelevant

any help (or just pointers in the right direction) would be greatly appreciated
