 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.
