Hi Steve. Yes a great pity that. But as I say it would have been of no use to me as such but I thought the concept of linking a remote control to a speech output device by whatever means would be a huge breakthrough as it would make all appliances accessible thus eliminating the need for stand alone devices like the TVonics etc.Turning an iPhone into a TV remote control with built-in speech sounded like to way to go by making all menus audible, a sort of universal remote with speech enhancement. Hopefully Sky will sort it eventually.
