Help!!

I have a dilemma, dear friends, and I'm hoping you can help me.
We bought our house because it is on a gorgeous lot.
With woods.
And deer.
And little bunnies.
This is my family room that looks out on the woods.
 I thought this wall of windows would give me a nice view.
Not so much.
The blinds were on the windows when we moved in.
The upper blinds are supposed to be remote control to raise them up.
They broke within a year.
Quality.
But I can't take them off because the afternoon sun blasts into the room.
Like it's so strong you would need sunglasses.

To make it worse, see the line that is under the arch?
That's not the window, it's just the ugly blind.
So ...
1. My living room is actually a dungeon despite the potential view.
2. I'm an outside girl and I can't see outside when I want.
3. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT TO REPLACE THEM WITH.

Please help.
(Oh, and it must be a budget solution)
