Hi Notlong,
Sounds like you are doing many things right: Talking it out, planning for a couple of years down the road, planning visits, snowbirding for the first few years.
Pooh, Autoshow and others have given good advice. Be sure you know what she loves about TV and support her in her efforts to enjoy those things when you visit, and later snowbird. Invite your daughter and her family to visit in TV. If they believe she would love it here, they might encourage her to make the move. Invite her Mom too.
Listen to her needs and concerns. Maybe you can plan regular family visits, set MIL and kids up with Skype and do other things that will ease your wife's transition and address her concerns. As others have said, if she's not happy, you won't be either.
