Yes, that's why I went down the RNIB route. The person on Customer Services
said that if I encountered any difficulties, the volunteer help scheme could
assist, assuming of course that we might run into difficulties, and of
course have someone in Northern Ireland who is available.
Anyway, I am looking forward, finally, to having a recordable unit that
talks which is why we hung off and didn't purchase the Goodmans. We don't
watch much TV, but it would be nice to record the odd programme that might
be on late after we've turned in.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

We also have our volunteer home visiting service who can assist with
installation and familiarisation that anyone can access, whether they
purchase from RNIB or elsewhere. If you opt into the Helpscheme, then our
volunteers could still do the software upgrade, if the scheme provides
compatible Tvonics models.

Subject: [access-uk] Digital switch-over help
Everyone,
I have contacted the BBC switch-over team who sent me a letter this week
because Northern Ireland is turning off its analogue signal in October.
My letter stated that they can provide an accessible recordable digital
source so I thought of the new box that RNIB now have on sale.
The switch-over team can come and install the new box, fully up and running,
with one year after-care, for the sum of £186. There is a waiting list for
this to be done here, however, so my question, as well as passing on this
information, is: how easy is it to set up this new box on a TV with Freeview
built-in, is HD ready, and has an ordinary Sky DigiBox with the FreeSat card
installed? We have a digital roof aerial installed already, so are
basically fit to go. But it seems to me that it shouldn't be that difficult
to install the box ourselves if we go ahead and purchase from RNIB.
Thoughts welcome please, but no negativity if you don't mind William!
(sigh).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
