Hi Carol
Well I'm having one of those days where everything
happens and everyone comes at once, so I haven't had any
real time to play with my new toy, and have been going
round instead putting in wireless keys and ensuring BT
works well.
I must say that the Apple products were the easiest to do
in this regard, (no surprise there then), (smiles).
Madleen is very helpful, but the instructions should have
made her explanation abundantly clear which they did not
I have to say. Never mind, it's more or less sorted now.
Still waiting on Braille instructions too, but am using
my BrailleSense to read it for now. It's fine, but you
can't beat hard copy Braille to really jump about.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie,
From my experience, it seems that, as Madleen so kindly
alerted me, you have to plug in the box, then wait for
the OK that it wants to proceed with a tune, then you
press the blue button and that did work for me
eventually! However, if you try pressing the blue button
too soon then it doesn't appear to work and, anyway, how
do you know when the screen is showing the message
anyway? (I would like to have seen the input clearer for
us at that stage.)
I gather, anyway, that you're now up and running and
that's a good thing.
Have to set up my first recordings tonight, but we have a
problem with our TV (which was there before we set up the
box) so we may not get what we want!

Hi Carol et al,
So glad you've raised this as I was going to. Our box
arrived yesterday. We plugged the HDMI cable into the TV
and TVonics, and of course the roof aerial. The problem
is that Martin no longer has enough sight to read
anything, but could just about detect there was some
writing on the screen.
I pressed the blue button on the remote, but nothing
happened. There was no
speech, and I can't skip through the AV settings on our
TV as I don't know where the AV button is on the telly's
remote control.
I was under the impression, obviously the wrong one,
that this product spoke
out of the box once it was plugged in. According to the
instructions - and
therein lies a real gripe with me - you plug in the
leads, press the blue button and away you go.
As for the instructions, I was told a Braille copy of
these would be sent with my box. When it arrived, there
were no instructions, except the standard print variety
which, of course, were of no consequence to ourselves.
We downloaded a Word copy from the RNIB online shop and
have put
them onto my BrailleSense until the hard copy Braille
instructions arrive.
Until we get sighted assistance, I think we are stuck to
be honest. We hear
the box whirring, but can't go any further. I have a
feeling that, when we
turn on the TV, it jumps automatically to the new box,
but it just doesn't speak, and I don't want to go
pressing buttons here and there in case we make the
situation worse.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi all,
Well, thankfully my TVonics arrived today and I've tried
setting up as follows:
My aerial cable (from outside) is in the Aerial in
socket, The other aerial
socket has the aerial between box and TV. The HDMI
cable between TV and box
as stated in instructions.
It does not state in the instructions whether you need
to tune the box independently first, before putting on
the TV, so we've tried tuning both ways. On each
occasion, we've said OK to tune, since there doesn't
seem to
be any other option my friend can see, and the tuning
has just gone on and on ... so we've turned off the
power to the box, given it a good 20 seconds
and tried again with TV on, but still no go!
In addition, when we first switched on, we pressed the
blue button, as speech didn't automatically come on. We
still haven't managed to get speech
on as there seems to be no bypassing the channel search.
Hopefully someone somewhere can pinpoint where we've
gone wrong, advise of anything else I can do, and we can
get up and running very soon.
Thanks for any advice for this poor novice who's never
set up a TV and box before! <Smiles>
