Use High Def Stupid!

I wish my television cable converter box could redirect channels the way web sites can for URLs. For example, if I choose Channel X, but I also have Channel X in high definition, I wish my TV would just go there!
I also wish my channel guide would only display shows available to me. I know they show everything on purpose, so that you DO SEE what you are missing, and you buy it, but I can still wish. ;-)
I used to complain that computers should be as easy to use as televisions. You just press power on/off, channel up/down, and volume up/down. Done. Unfortunately now with the combination of cable boxes, DVRs, media centers, surround sound systems, Blu-ray players, etc, TV is becoming rocket science!
