Hi David,

Instead of using the red button I tend to just dial in 301 as this is the
red button channel for BBC1. Not too sure as to what would happen if BBC had
multiple options on the red button, but worthwhile trying the EPG and going
to 300 and cursoring down to see what is there.

John.

Hi David.

The TVonics does indeed support all red button functions including BBC
IPlayer if the box is connected either with cable or via wireless to the
internet.  Unfortunately the speech will not speech when using these
features, nor can you access teletext either.  I believe this is clearly
stated in the instructions downloadable from the RNIB website, a copy of
which I'd be happy to send you on request.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi

Has anyone investigated the use of tvonics with the BBC red button
programmes?  I have the Olympics in mind, and I believe the BBC are covering
most events, many of which will have red button dedicated channel coverage.

I am wondering whether this is accessible using the tvonics talking freeview
box.  I am pretty sure it is not speech accessible, but is it possible to
down arrow to red button programme 1, find out what sport is on that
channel, and go on down until you find the sport you wish to watch?

I believe there is also a bbc digital radio channel totally for Olympic
coverage.  Anyone have details of where to find this?

Hope this is not too off topic.

David
