Not had that problem, although I do find occasionally that I haven't pressed the power button firmly enough and it needs a second prod.

Oh yes, so I have :-) I've never used it!

Just tried it for the first time. A screen full of Apps comes up such as BBC I-Player, BBC News, BBC Sport, YouTube. But then it asks me to log into

and either log in or create an account. I presume it allows access to those Apps through the Humax web site. But I don't know whether I'm supposed to create an account via the TV/PVR in some way (if so, I don't know how), or via my PC. As I've never used it, nor see the need to, I'll probably never find out.

You need a 'granny reset button', or a written sheet of procedures that will get to a defined "you can do what you want when you get here".

Should be possible to make the Humax have forced control of everything with the remote, should be no need to change HDMI settings on the TV.

Make sure the soundbar (if using HDMI) is using ARC connected to the TV. If it is using Bluetooth, well - a written sheet of procedures when that breaks (or dump it).

How old is the Humax? What model?

Perhaps there is a new one, that is more friendly to use?

Why not introduce her to streaming? Their on-screen interfaces may be a bit easier to work with, programme details are clearly advertised and its on demand - no wandering about different channels hoping ...

Or just get her, her own TV. There are a few with built in satellite decoders.

There is, but it is too new to comment on 'wife friendly' attributes.
