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.

Subject: [access-uk] goodmans talking freeview box
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.
