Might be possible.  I tried numerous variations (probably a lot of
duplicated attempts since I didn't keep good track of what I had tried and
what I hadn't).  Periodically, I'd give up in disgust and go and read
Homeless while I cooled off.  Then V ordered that the mess be cleaned up
(mess?  a few components, some wires, some power cables, a couple of DVDs
and a tape or two -- and the TV -- spread out on the floor in easy reach). 
It, um, wasn't an order, it was an ORDER.  I tried the current set up, it
worked and it has stayed that way.

(Today I got told I was wasting energy cooking a single chicken breast in the oven.)
