Hi, the TVonics is the same as it is Freeview, no extra 24 Olympic channels
from BBC. Standard red button channel is 301, but I don't think there are
any options, but I may be mistaken as I cannot see anything, so the red
button itself is a mystery. Try getting a sighted helper to tell you if
options become available once the red button is pressed - certainly doesn't
work with speech.
John.

how does this work then on the tvonics?
is it the same?
you just go to 301 and bring up the EPG as with the godmans?
or can a sighted person actively select what they wish to watch
