Hi Everyone
Apologies for the length of this message.
I have been watching Freeview for over 5 years using a Nokia Communicator with
no problems. Every so often, it breaks up, but soon corrects itself. We
had a
new aerial fitted when we moved to this house. It has an amplifier, so
Freeview should be ok.
Earlier this year I decided that I would like to be able to select audio
description. I already have a nebula box, so can listen on my PC, but I
thought it would
be
good to attach a box to the television.
I purchased a Logik box from Currys. I connected it up and was concerned about
the quality of the sound and the audio description. On some stations, in
particular ITV3, the soundtrack broke up while the audio describer was talking.
also, on ITV1 the audio description stopped working. If I switched it off and
on
again it started again.
I sent the machine back and had a refund as they had no more in stock.
I then bought one, for more money, from RNIB. I have connected it up and seem
to be encountering some of the same problems. I noticed that the audio
description on BBC1 kept jittering.
I have another problem now: ITV4 has an echo. This is also happening on the PC
but the Nokia is ok.
Has anyone else had these problems and, if so, what did they do about them?
Are there any settings I sould be amending?
Or, is the Logik Box not very good quality? Should I forget about audio
description until something better comes along? I know there are various
televisions
which have it, but the smallest one, as I understand it, is 26 inches, and we
do not have room for it.
