Hi!Just phoned Sky accessibility and they helped me to enable RF outlet, once this was done it works a treat! thanks for all the help!Alistair----- Original Message ----- From: "Ali" <alistair.kelly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 6:09 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sky GnomeHi!Thank you for the response, as far as I can tell the cables are all connected correctly, however there are 3 RF ports on my standard Sky box,I've tried each one. as for the settings within Sky itself, there is no setting within the system set up which is labelled RF, although will have another go later.Did try the Sky disability help line, they in turn passed me onto someone else who took 5 minutes to tell me they no longer work with the Sky gnome, I was then passed onto another company who told me all their operators were busy and to leave a message! Great fun!LOL! thank you!Alistair----- Original Message ----- From: "Ibrahim Gucukoglu" <ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 4:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sky GnomeHi.Is the data cable correctly connected? On most sky boxes there are three RF ports, but this can varies if you have a sky plus box. Other than this, you need to ensure the serial cable is connected and secured properly and that external device support is enabled in your sky box. I'd get a volunteer to help you with all this personally as setup can be difficult if you are totally blind.----- Original Message ----- From: "Ali" <alistair.kelly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 3:54 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sky GnomeHi folks,I guess like many of you I got my Sky gnome this morning,I've followed the instructions to the best of my ability and indeed the gnome is receiving and playing the sky content. However I cant change channels as it just says searching! The transmitter is close enough to the receiver to pick up the signal but for the life of me can't work out where I'm going wrong! Anyone any ideas?Did contact the RNIB who kindly offerred to send out a volunteer next week which is great but I hate this sort of mystery!If anyone can walk me through it my private E mail is below.

This plugs into the back of the Skybox somewhere, along with phono cables and your aerial plug. Then youcan take the gnome around the house as it transmits the Sky signal from its base. The gnome has two speakers to its rear, so you can listen tooutput from whatever is being broadcast on Sky. There is a headphonesocket on the gnome as well. You can change channels using its buttons,go up and down if you don't know the direct numbers, and adjust the volume. I hope that sort of makes sense.

It is stereo, allows you to change channels, or turn the Sky box on if it is off.Thebattery lasts about eight hours, but comes with a mains charger.

Interesting but not strictly true. Well, not acording to my experience this morning. I simply rang up and mentioned that I'dseenthis being discussed on a mailing list at the weekend and asked iftherewere any gnomes left. I was told there was and they said they'd sendmeone out. No mention of codes or insight, smiles.
