Hi Tony, After having a test run on the bush boz08 set top box and
thinking
about your problems might I make a few suggestions
even though I'm not fully acquainted with your set top boxes. using your
origional text I'll add in my suggestions.
On another matter related to Saorview, would any member be able to assist
me
with using Aertel from within Saorview? I use binoculors or a type
prescribed bor the task However I cannot switch to Aertel once Saorview is
selected.
Firstly Tony, you mentioned that you have 3 remote controls. I take it 1
each for the set top boxes and 1 for the tv. Would you check out
something
for me. In the set top box I was using there were 3 buttons on the top of
the remote control: from left 1. home 2. TV 3. S.T.B.(set top box)
Do you have similar buttons on both set top box remotes? if so, the
remote
control has the capability to control the Tv. To avoid having to use the
T.V. remote as well. You should get someone to read the instructions
from
the user manual guides from the individual set top boxes just to make
sure.
In my circumstances. using the remote control of the set top box I was
instructed to hold down the tv and home buttons on the set top box remote
control which would initiate a scan by the S.T.B. remote control to check
if
the code for the t.v. was in its memory bank. on finding it the home
button flashed twice and the tv switches off and I was instructed to press
the O.K. button so when I pressed the tv button on the S.T.B. remote
control the T.V. would come back on and the volume and channel changing
could be done from the S.T.B. remote control. Now my instructions may not
be totally accurate but it is something like that. I had success
similarly some time ago, with one of those universal remote controls you
can buy off the shelf for t.v.'s. So at least if I am correct you can
just use the 2 s.t.b. remotes for changing channels etc and switching
on/off the tv.As regards the teletext, if you press the teletext button
when the soarview
s.t.b. is being used and the teletext comes up, when finished with it ,
you
should just have to press the home button once or twice to bring you back
to
the tv screen. the way I interpret this is that it is like when you have
a
number of documents or programs running on a computer and they are
overlapping each other on the p.c. screen. If on the other hand you can't
get up teletext on the screen maybe it is because it depends on the
channel,
has tv3 aertel pages, select r.t.e. 1 tv and press the teletext button. If
at this point it doesn't work maybe as I said before your signal needs
checking out. I gathered from my own experience that there is an option
in
the s.t.b.'s main menu to locate such info and when you do you can contact
soarview and ask what's wrong.
Further I have found it unwise to liave the Saorview environment
temtorarily
to access Aertel due to the lentht of the set-up procedure to get back
into
Saorview.
*try out what I said above.
I am one of the chaacters with two boxes, one for Saorview and the other
for
foreign freeview and radio and a toggle at the top right bubbon on same
tabkes be between the two systems.
Another problem with Saorview is that the sound on the transmission
frequently disappears. Increasing the volume control makes no impact. The
following day it may work.
* I think you should checkout the strength of your signal and also try to
keep the two set top boxes well apart as we all electronics they seem to
interfere with each other if too close together. For instance
occasionally when I leave my mobile phone next to my p.c. it interferes
with incoming calls which I only notice when I take the phone away from
that spot. Also, when using a close circuit magnification tv, I attempted
to put credit into my ready to go phone using the cctv to read the phone
credit slip, as I rang the niumber, the screen started to incur rolling
lines through the screen and when I moved the phone away from the cctv and
fingered in the numbers with the speaker on the screen cleared and I was
able to read the numbers. Ensure that there are no cables
crossing as this is one thing I discovered that causes break up of signal.
Yet another query I was was about to put to the Saorview phoneline shortly
is how to set the tv so that the time will self adjust for winter and
summer
time. My set keeps to GMT all year year around and is very strange to
compare with the new time of day this week. It was giving me the same
trouble last summer but when I realised what was up I stopped checking the
tv time
* I wonder even with the problem of setting up the time with the t.v.'s
remote if you could as mentioned above link the remote control of the
s.t.b.'s to control the t.v. functions and went into the mainmenu on the
s.t.b. maybe you could make the correct selections that way maybe it would
keep the time better. These are only suggestions and I hope they help.
Back to my origional question, have you a video recorder linked to your
t.v. or do you use built in hard drive or a portable hard drive to record
programmes? best of luck.
Gerry

Gerry,
Unfortunately the RTE channels aren't available on Freesat. The RTE feeds
come from the same satellites as the versions on Sky, so they're
encrypted.
To get accessible both Freesat and Saorview / Saorsat you'd need 2
separate boxes as far as I know. A Panasonic Freesat TV with voice
guidance
for Freesat, and an accessible set-top-box for Saorview. I doubt very much
that Panasonic will produce a TV set with both platforms, but you may wish
to do some research to verify this.
As per the Youtube video Joan Ann posted - it appears that the only menu
which works with voice guidance on the Panasonic TVs is the TV guide /
EPG.
Speech isn't provided in any of the set-up menus, which I expect would
rule
out accessible PVR functionality (if it's included in the specifications
at
all). Again have a look at the various specs to verify this.
Have a look at
You may find this forum on boards.ie useful - it contains a truck load of
information on Saorview / Freesat.

Hope this helps,
Ciaran

Ciaran, Are the r.t.e. radio and TV channels available now! on the
Freesat
platform, I know there was some breakdown in negociations some years ago,
Thus I don't know the situation presently. Also, is there a record option
in the menus of these panasonic tv's i.e. if you attach a usb stick or
hard
drive will you be able to record programmes?

Correct Dónal - these TV sets will only speak the EPG on Freeview in the
UK,
and Saorview in Ireland.
However, I believe there is to be a Freesat model, so this will work in
either country. Freesat doesn't carry the subscription channels we all
love
(hate?) and know from Sky and UPC though. That said it's a very popular
platform nowadays, so these sets will represent a great way of getting
accessible multi-channel telly in the ROI.
A channel list can be found on the following site:

Been doing a bit of looking at this. For anyone with Sky or UPC it will
*not* read the EPG on those services as far as I know. I'm most
definitely
open to correction though and hope I'm wrong.
