Hi David
Regarding your previous Email, I can't use another HDMI cable as my Sky box
is the original which suits our needs perfectly. We don't subscribe to the
packages, and only have a FreeSat card in the box, so it'll have to be SCART
for the TVonics instead, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.
I've put in On The Buses to watch on ITV3 later as I just can't help myself
and crack up at that programme. It's just so self-explanatory that no AD is
required. Happy days!! (laughing already).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie,
As an example of finding programmes you don't expect, tonight on challenge
tv (channel 46 I think) you can watch the first edition of the new updated
blockbusters. I remember watching that around 25 years ago. Might watch it
just to see how much it has changed.

Hi David
I haven't heard it say whether a programme is Audio Described or not and I,
like you, am impressed with the box. The guys who set it up for me also
thought the speech was amazing, and felt it would be great for elderly
people too, let alone our community.
Also like yourself, it's good to know what is on the lesser known channels,
some good old golden oldies for a start!!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi all
Got someone to help me with the installation today and all went remarkably
smoothly.
I have already made a recording and have set it up to record two programmes
at the same time later tonight. I do have one question. There appears to
be a "save" button but I have not found what it does. When you are changing
a setting for example, the box automatically saves the setting you have
highlighted, so there appears to be no point in having a save button.
One thing which no one has so far commented upon is the high definition
facility. Granted, it is of no use to many of us, but the sighted person
who visited me this afternoon to set up the box was very impressed with the
quality of the hd channels.
All in all I am most impressed with the t-vonics box. It will be great for
just finding out what is on with regard to the lesser known channels, and
even better to be able to record anything on freeview.
Even fully sighted people are impressed with the clarity of the voice, and
someone asked me whether it was an actresss who had prerecorded the speech.
It is so good to have braille instructions as well.
Just one minor point, When listening to the programme information, I have
not heard it tell me whether the programme is audio described or not. Can
someone confirm that it does this, and if so tell me how to find out.
David
