HI Brian, make sure the TV is turned on, then when you  go into the remote 
tuning setting, presses of the channel up should turn the TV off .  this 
signifies that you have tuned the remote to the TV.

  Hi everyone

   

  Maybe this has been discussed before, and if so, many apologies.

   

  We've recently taken delivery of the RNIB TVonics settop box for Freeview and 
it is working fine. I set it up through our audio equipment only and there are 
no problems.

   

  However, my partner wants the unit to come through a TV and so this afternoon 
I bought a Logik TV from Curries.

   

  I have been unable so far to make the remote control of the TVonics control 
the volume of the TV. I've followed the instructions for the automatic tuning 
process and manually entering the codes listed in the instructions, but it 
doesn't appear to work.

   

  I am reluctant to return the TV and get an alternative because the same thing 
might happen. So my questions are:

  1.       Is this a common problem and if so, are some manufacturers better 
than others in terms of getting this box to work, and

  2.       How long should I leave it between presses of the channel up button 
given there's no audible indication? If the remote is going to find the tV on a 
press of channel up, does that happen within, say, half a second, or is it 
longer? I am just trying to determine how much time I should leave before 
attempting the process again.

   

  Thank you very much if anyone can help.
