John, this is about right, however, everything seems to work properly with the controlling of my t.v including the volume but you have to press and release the volume for it to go up or down. Also, I recall someone mentioning about the program guide getting stuck on the same program when going through the program guide list. I have found a simple work around for this by simply quickly pressing the left or right side of the rocker switch and this will take you to the next program in the list.
Hope this helps Martin-----Original Message----- From: John Gregory

If so, then this is a really poor concept as some TVs have multiple codes that might work to switch off the TV, but do not activate the volume level.

I have just got one and it was incredibly easy to set up once connected. Yes, I also have the issue with the program guide you mentioned. As for the remote control link, I think this needs a little patience as I had the same issue you were having. I just carried on trying and eventually it worked. I think the issue here is purely technical as some makes and models of television sets have more than one access code and some won't work even when the tvonics thinks you have found the code so you have to carry on until the right one is found. I found that by trying the coding sequence again, the box won't let you put in another code as it is deemed to be correct. Another thing to point out is that when adjusting the volume, you have to adjust it by pressing and releasing the volume control rather than continuously holding the volume to go up or down. Hope this helps.

Finally when i set the tv linking up and turn off the tv with the tv button it does not turn on again via the same button but requires the physical tv remote to be used. any thoughts on comments? overall though great job, set up a couple of recording for this afternoon, too ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
