  Jillian,

   

  I know someone who owns this and just asked my partner if she'd heard if they 
had the same problems.  Especially as we're going to buy one and her reply is 
as follows.  

   

  "He was flicking through fine when i was talking to him earlier.  Wonder if 
she has it upside down?  Apparently there is a mistake in the instruction that 
say certain connections and buttons go from left to right when they really go 
the other way.  He said he thought you could alter the volume of tv and speech 
independently but hadn't worked out how yet. "

   

  Barry.

  Hi.

   

  Just wondering if any of you've order and received this box.  I've got mine 
today.  I think it's a great idea.  My 1 gripe though is that I'm finding it 
extremely difficult to hit the sensor with the remote.  On previous freeview 
boxes, this was a breeze.  If I aimed the remote at even the tv screen, I could 
change channels, but not with this 1.  I've always have my freeview box on top 
of the telly, which has caused no problems in the past.  But I often get no 
response when pressing butttons.  when I had the box on my knee, it was much 
better.  I'm thinking the sensor might be on the underside of the box at the 
front.  If that's the case, how stupid!  I intend to contact goodmans on this, 
as I believe it doesn't say where the sensor is on the remote.  also, the 
volume of the guide speech is a lot louder than the volume of programmes 
through the tv. Have you received your box yet, and how've you found it so far? 
 The sluggish responses explained why I initially couldn't set it up, but once 
I overcame that, there was no issue there.

   

  Jill.
