Hi, can anybody tell me if any of the boxes have phono outputs? I know the Logik has a mini jack which is also fine. I tend to run mine through the hifi without switching a telly on!

Indeed you can get huge sets now, but I would have to move house to get anything larger than 26 or possibly 32 inches. I got someone to carry outthe installation for me, but the menu system would not be too difficult onceyou know the order of the items within the menu. so, you would need help, but I am sure you could do it with visual assistance from your son.

It's just that a 26 inch doesn't sound too bigcompared to some of these sets that are doing the rounds at the moment. Didyou need sighted assistance to switch on the ~AD?

I can dream though.

I don't need another box at the moment because I use Sky which has AD turned on, and the Netgem which is still functioning well. I've also got another ordinary box that I picked up in a sale before our Dixons closed down some years ago. It doesn't have AD, but is useful for occasions like last night, when I needed to have the Champions League on every format I could find. So I had Sky showing the Roma versus Real Madrid game, the Netgem on Scottish TV showing theLiverpool game (still smiling for that one,) and the spare Freeview box onITV 4 for the Olympiarkos versus Chelsea game. Better not forget Five Live on the radio either ... yeah I know, I'm hopeless (smile.) You say you have a TV with Freeview carrying AD built-in? I know there are a lot of TVs now with the AD facility incorporated, but we haven't got that far yet as I'm hoping our current Sony continues to plod for a while. Thanks for that though.

You canset the box to beep every time a key is pressed, but I don't think it beepswhen it finds a channel broadcasting audio description. I would not havethought that was worth another twenty pounds. I purchased the Logik for my upstairs tv which only has the basic five channels. Downstairs I now have a Panasonic Viera 26 inch set and this one has a freeview box built in, which does have audio description unlike most set top boxes. also, you can set this one to have the AD on speakers or headphones or both or neither. this is a good idea if someone in the room does not want to listen to the AD track.
