I ordered it a couple of weeks ago when I realised my Net Jem was on its last legs and got an email from RNIB saying that expected delivery was going to be the week beginning 16 August. Well mine turned up early.

  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. "

  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.
