AV system Effed up AGAIN!

OK, this is a touchy subject. Every time we leave the house in someone else’s hands, we leave with the TV working perfectly, and return with it screwed up so badly it takes me half a day to reset everything and it really pisses me off. I don’t know how we can watch the TV for months with no problem and someone else can be here a week and total screw it up. In addition to written explanation of how to use the the AV system I made a video of how to use it and included the URL in the instructions.
My instructions read:

"I posted a video on youtube that shows how to use our entertainment system and it can be seen at ______. It shows how to use the “help” function on the remote if you have a problem. If you have a problem that cannot be solved through use of the “help” menu, I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to use the entertainment system. Hit the “off” button and walk away. DO NOT change any settings or touch the TV or the AV receiver. While our house sitting contract specifically states that we do not guarantee use of the entertainment system, the system will be working perfectly when we turn the house over to you and you are free to use it. "

So when we got back, it was so Effed up it took over an hour to figure out what they'd done and to figure out how to straighten it out. Cables had been moved around and Netflix had been moved to the "hidden aps" folder on the Apple TV. WTF anyone would do that is totally beyond my comprehension.
We have to leave for another 10 days next week. I'm considering putting some kind of penalty clause in the contract if the AV system is fuched when I get back.
Your thoughts??
