Hi Pele,

Is it possible that you have an intermittently faulty cable, between the
TVOnics and the Television?

Just shooting in the dark.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] TVOnics and Digital Switch-Over

Hi Everyone

Apologies in advance for such a long message.

I have a TVOnics box which I bought from the RNIB in May. I would be
interested to know if anyone else is having the same problem that I am
having.

I also have a Sony LCD television with analog and Freeview TV wich is about
4 years old.

Last week was the first stage of the Digital Switch-Over in our area. I read
all the leaflets beforehand so knew what was going to happen.

Last Wednesday we lost BBC1 and BBC2 on Freeview so the television and the
TVOnics box were retuned. The television seemed fine but the TVOnics 
kept breaking up on BBC1 and BBC2.

We have a roof aerial that has points in 4 rooms in the house. The aerial
point in the living-room, where the TVOnics and Sony TV are located has a
booster 
which plugs into the mains.

I contacted the Digital Switch-Over team who suggested disconnecting the
booster. I did this but got no signal at all. But when I reconnected it
everything 
worked fine until today. The TVOnics signal is now breaking up again. The
television seems to be ok.

Has anyone else had similar problems and, if so, have they managed to find a
way of combatting them?

I am aware that we are all going to have to retune again next week when the
analog signal is finally switched off, and I am aware that other people in
this 
area are having problems with BBC2, but I cannot understand why the
television should work and the TVOnics box not work.
