Hi Carol, I should think that unless your TV is HD all you'd need to do is plug in the Scart, on the back extreme left, the power, which is a little round socket below the scart, and the aerial in, which is extreme right on the back. That's if you're facing the front of the box. Obviously if you're facing the back of the box just reverse. 

 I should think that in most cases that'd do the job for every day use.
                   John.

OK, thanks.

Now just tell me what plugs in where and I'll be happy!  <Smiles>

I have read instructions but I'm better if someone tells me.

By pressing the menu button again.

OK, not clear because I don't have the handset here but how do you return to TV if you want to try it again?

Hi Carol, the bottom row of the remote consists of four coloured buttons. I think it goes from left to right red, green, yellow and blue. According to the instructions, when you turn it on for the first time and press the blue button it's supposed to come up talking. In my case that didn't work. At first I thought I was going to have to get sighted assistance, till I went back to the instructions and found that they'd included the button sequence which, if followed correctly would turn on the talking features. I managed to do it, but only because I've had years of working with gear that doesn't 
talk. What it says in the instructions is:
Without sighted assistance you may be able to activate talking features by using this button sequence. Follow this exact button sequence: menu, down, OK, down, down, OK, down, down, down, right. After a few moments, talking features should be activated otherwise return to TV and try the sequence again. 
                   John.

John, I'm not quite clear what you were actually saying about the blue
button here. So, how should one get the TVonics speaking without sight?

Hi everybody, my curiousity got the better of me yesterday and I popped over to Judd Street and got a TVonics talking freeview recorder. I'm glad 
I did. Other than for a bit of a song and dance getting the talking
features turned on, as pressing the blue button didn't work for me,
possibly due to pressing it too late or at the wrong time the button
press sequence was in the instructions, so I was able to turn talking
features on.
In answer to Tristram's question regarding the quality and stability of the speech it leaves the Goodmans standing. The speech is clear, without 
any dropout or stuttering. I think they've used the Emma voice.
In answer to Will's question regarding whether or not it was possible to listen to a third channel while recording on two others no, you can't. One touch record is very handy. Hopefully one day they'll enable it to 
dub recorded programmes onto DVD, but that aside I couldn't fault it.
The remote's well laid out. I think the learning curve would be where a proceedure requires the pressing of one of the four coloured buttons, as which one to press doesn't seem to be spoken. As they do different things 
in different parts of the menus I can't see a way of marking them.
 Still, so far so good. As people have said on here previously it's
wonderful that manufacturers are beginning to make mainstream equipment 
accessible.
                   John.
