Hi Jackie,
Will asked the question and I believe it ws someone from
RNIB who said you had to wait for the HD to fill up before
you could delete programmes.
Know your products RNIB.

I thought some on the list were saying you couldn't delete
programmes until
the HD filled up? Thank God for sanity!! (smile).

Hi Jackie, who said you couldn't delete a programme? Of
course you can, just
press the red button when a programme in the library is
highlighted.
