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>
