David, it'll tell you if a programme is audio described. If it doesn't say it means it isn't.
  Where, incidentally, is the save button you mention? I don't know of one.

Subject: [access-uk] t-vonics talking freeview box

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.
