So, I just got my 1070, and I generally like it.

But when I had to explain the modal selection UI to my wife, I realized I may have made a mistake.

If you're not familiar with the unit (e.g. you're my wife, or my babysitter), it's completely impossible to tell how to switch from the DVD input to the satellite input:

"push this button marked input."
"nothing will happen. that's normal."
"then push this unmarked button over and over"
"stop pushing it when the word 'video1' appears"

The remote is just as bad:

"find the tiny button near the top marked 'tnr'."
"push it. nothing will happen. that's normal."
"find the tiny button marked 'dvd'."
"not the one on the top, the one on the bottom."
"push it"

I think I could avoid returning the 1070 if I could find a universal remote with two big buttons, "satellite" and "dvd".

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Have you solved it? I'd be happy to use the wired remote input, if I had something to produce the correct signals.

It seems crazy. If I can't make this work, I'll have to send the thing back, and get a worse-sounding, more-expensive, less-fully-featured unit with a better UI.

Help!
