My SWMBO's a geek, so probably not representative of the species, but
I'd say that MythTV[1] is perfectly user-friendly if you put the effort
into setting it up neatly (a suitable remote control goes a long way)
and then *resist the urge to meddle*.

I'd assume that since you've convinced her of the benefits of a PVR
already, then you've done the hard work already, and it's just a case of
learning a new user interface.
