System requirements for mvp

You are *so* not getting it!

You're not using the right hooks, she's a woman, you're targeting the technical aspects so when you say "better picture quality" she hears "blah blah blah TV picture ok".

When you say "1 inch black border in wide screen off an S3 card" sure, she's going to hear "blah blah blah blah blah blah chocolate muffins".

You need to stop discussing problems and discuss it from her point of view.

I told my wife I would get rid of the shelves of CD's in the lounge, I would remove the VHS deck, get rid of the hi fi unit, create more space, a cleaner lounge, less dusting, more refined etc.

Sex it up a bit, create the benefits for HER, not the technical achievements on your part. The PC will go, no noise, no cable mess etc.

If she's still not into it, just override her, have an argument and buy it anyway. Works every time.

Problem is that the PC will still have to sit there, since it has to be relatively close to the set top box, so I would not get rid of the computer

Hint: Move the set top box... sell the benefit of that too

Now, that would be a harder one... that would require me to rewire the coax from the antenna, plus that I would loose the ability to watch tv without involving gbpvr... Usually when we watch (live) tv, we don't use gbpvr at all...

Really? Do you not have an option of a remote extender over coax? It's easy to place Sky satellite boxes remotely.
