Sounds like you have a system only you can operate? Can your wife work it okay with no issues, if not I would suggest getting something else setup. Many years ago we had Cox cable and they charged much extra for HD channels so I figured why not run the TV signal into a PC, use a video card with 1080P jacks to the TV set and run both at the same time, which worked great. Until the power went off for some reason or other then in that case no TV unless I was home to fire up the PC and start the video app that processed the TV signal. We lived with this for a while but I really got tired of the wife complaining soooooo I switched to another provider who did not charge for HD and things were better.
