How about a Roomba (robotic vacuum). It would save them the work of vacuuming and every time they use it they will think of you. (which will be often).
Also, I'd stay away from gift certificates. I've found older persons think it's just a cop-out for putting real thought into gifts. And besides, why exchange perfectly good cash thats good anywhere for specialized cash good at only one place.

Not sure which, but some frames can be updated remotely.
This is a great gift idea. I'd encourage you to look for one that integrates with Flickr by displaying any photos tagged with a key word. Make up a word for a unique tag and share it with your family. Any time one of them uploads a photo they'd like to automatically share with Grandma and Grandpa, they apply the unique tag. The grandparents get new photos automatically and effortlessly.
If you have a bit of time and some hobbyist tendencies, you can build your own. - http://www.lumis.com/picture/homemade_flickr_photo_frame/692/

How about a VHS/DVD combo recorder? They must have plenty of VHS tapes lying around. This is very handy. You would probably want to include a bundle of blank DVD's, but I think the gift would be something they would appreciate and use.

Are they spiritual- pick a psalm and have it printed out on a beautiful piece of parchment and a nice frame.
There is a lot of options with personalization ( I like the scrap book idea too), or invite them to a sporting event where you or other of their grandchildren are playing.

Gift certificate for you to go out to eat with them--they probably would like to do this more than going out alone. Restaurant.com currently has a sale for 80% off their gift certificates, which are normally $10 for a $25 gift certificate anyway!

Grandparents always seem to collect stuff, so if they like frogs or dogs or golf stuff or hedgehogs, whatever, you can use some small related items as filler.
Tell them their present is to go with them out of town or maybe a nearby beach, historical monument, tourist town, you know. Give them a day on the town.
Put a scrapbook together for them with photos of your entire family (those related to them, of course). Grandparents are most proud of you and family.
Your grandmother may LOVE a simple day-spa package (hairstyle, manicure, pedicure, all that jazz).
Again, time with family or anything made by small children in the family will melt their hearts (at least Grandma). Maybe Grandpa just needs a pipe or a new sweater. They are generally easier to please.

I would rather have you spend an afternoon with me or invite me to your house for dinner and engage me in honest, sincere conversation than for you spend money on me no matter how much thought you put into selecting the gift.

As previous answers have suggested, photos are always good. Assuming they have a DVD player, making a DVD of photos of you and other family members, would be a great way that even "non tech savvy" people could enjoy the pictures.
Another great gift idea is a "luxury" that they wouldn't buy for themselves. I have used the Fruit of the Month Club with great success for older relatives--there's a "light size" version that is perfect for smaller households.

M$It was very enjoyable to be able to go with her to the garden centre and pick out the plant that she wanted. For Christmas Day (or her birthday or whatever the occasion) I simply created a little gift certificate on my PC that promised her the outing. The garden centre we visited had a lovely restaurant, so we would have lunch or a cream tea to make the day extra special.

M$Two things to keep in mind:
- the resolution of the display should be at least 640 x 480 pixels or greater
- operating the picture frame should be fool-proof. Grandparents usually don't understand the concept of a graphical user interface with menus and dialog boxes. The picture frame should start up showing the slide show by pressing just one button.
