Hi David
Yes, regarding the EPG, you change the day I think by up and down arrowing,
and going left and right for that particular day.
As for the way connections go, you are right in that there is a way round
such things, but each setup is different. I too put the TVonics and Sky
boxes to standby when not in use, so that our TV defaults to Freeview when I
switch it on. Then I have the option to go from there, either to TVonics or
Sky.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

I have found that using the right arrow with EPG does usually repeat the
announcement, so it needs to be pressed twice. I wonder if there is a way
of moving through the EPG more quickly, say to the evening or the next day?
My way of getting around the various key combinations between my Virgin box
and the T-Vonics is to turn the T-Vonics to stand by when it is not being
used. When I do this, the Virgin box plays without pressing any further
buttons.
There is usually a way around such things.

I can now report that the chaps who set up our TVonics box came back
yesterday with a SCART lead. We now have a system whereby both our standard
Sky DigiBox and the TVonics unit are connected to the TV via SCART. When we
turn on the TV, the built-in Freeview comes on by default. If we then turn
on either the Sky or TVonics devices, they will jump from one to the other,
depending on which one we want to use.
Our only concern is that the latest SCART leads are rather heavy, and the
one when connected to the TVonics box looks rather precarious. If they had
screws like the old Parallel cables where you could put them in and tighten
them up, it would cause less strain on the pins.
However, that's the best and easiest method for us. Using one device on
HDMI and another on SCART is a real faff!
Recording programmes and deleting them is easy, and looking through the EPG
is also very helpful. Yes it does stick when you right arrow, but pressing
this button twice quickly generally moves you on through the list. I think
that is a bug!
All in all, very good.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
