Problem is, she's been using the Sky remote quote happily since we got
it
for TV + Sky - which copes with all _her_ requirements (not for her
surround
sound, 4' images etc - hell, she hardly notices when the aspect ratio
is
wrong!) but now with TiVo, she needs to turn on the TV somehow (since
bizarrley, TiVo doesn't do, though it will switch it OFF) so she does
what
she always did and uses the sky remote - which of course switches off
RGB,
so TiVo says it's not getting a signal, so she gets a tad pee'd off with
it!
"Just give her the TV and TiVo controls then" I hear you say.
Ah, but she likes her interactive sky news, so needs the Sky controller
for
that
"Give her all 3 controllers then!"
Nope, too many.  She will complain about clutter
"Use a Pronto"
She doesn't like it!
"Use composite output only then"
I've just spent a small fortune on RGB KAT5 units, active video buffers,
RGB
to Svideo converters..... :-(

It's never easy is it? :-(
