There are no external boxes, cables or secondary controls, al la Tivo..


I wish you hadn't said that. Would you perhaps reconsider?

The nice thing about TiVo is that you don't have to deal with TV listings and setting up to record certain stations at certain times.

Do a one time setup of your Season Passes, and TiVo will do the rest, including selecting similar programs on a trial basis.

After that, all your parents have to do is press the "List" button on the TiVo remote and then select which program they want to watch.

I can't imagine how it could get much simpler than that.
