Move to the program you want to delete and press yellow. That's the second colour button from the right. -----Original Message----- From: Saqib Sent: 5/16/2009 8:22:12 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: sky plus Thanks. I can see to read the menu items so I can play back recorded items. How do I delete programs which I no longer need?

However you can't easily add series links. Nor is it possible for you to know what programme you're about to click into from the on screen menu. To access the programmes you've recorded, you hit the tv guide button which immediately starts playing music through your TV so you know you're there in the menu. You then hit the green button, just above the 2 button, and it takes you into the list of programmes you've recorded - but there is no audio clue to reassure you here. This menu has all the programmes you have recorded plus (at the bottom) all the programmes cued up to record in the next 7 days). So. How do you find yesterdays EastEnders that you recorded? Well it's bound to be near the bottom of the list of programmes on your menu. So use the arrow keys to arrow up which takes you to the last item on the list, in the same way your PC's start menu does. You then press the big round key in the middle of the arrows, the select key. If the menu music doesn't disappear, then you know you've been trying to click into a programme that hasn't yet recorded and is cued up ready to go in the next few days. What I do then is arrow up a few times, guessing at how many programmes I've got cued to record. So maybe up 4 times. Then I press the select button again. If the menu music disappears, you know you're looking at a screen which gives you more details about the programme you're about to watch. Click the select key again and you're into the programme - or,most likely, into the last minute of the programme before it. So fast forward a minute or two and you'll hopefully find the BBC1 programme announcer saying something helpful like: "EastEnders now, and who's gonna take over running the cafe tonight?" If it's not the programme you want, you should be able to work out when the programme was recorded, in order to suss whether you then need to arrow further up or further down to find last night's EastEnders. To get out of the programme you don't want to watch, hit the 'backup' button which is below the down arrow key; do it once or twice until you hear the menu music again. You can then arrow down for a more recently recorded show, or arrow up for one that was recorded before the one you just clicked into. It's all in chronological order of when they were recorded. It's not as tricky as it sounds, in fact it's easy. And you can pause live TV very easily by pressing a pause button, and play by pressing play. If you're watching a TV show and you feel like you would rather watch it later .. just hit the record button. It'll grab the programme from the start and end recording at the end. It'll add itself to the bottom of the menu I just talked about. You can record two programmes at once. You can choose what programmes you want to record from their website. You will need a bit of sighted help in the first instance to setup your account and web password on your TV set top box. Hope useful. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darran Ross<mailto:darran.ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 8:14 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: sky plus Hi Fran.
