Hi Elliott.I've been pressed by several people both on and off list to give the TVonics another try, so I've acquired another DTR-HD500 as I didn't want to go down the DTR-Z500HD route for the reason you outlined in your message. Lets just hope that this time I have better luck with it and the first one I had being faulty was just a piece of bad luck on my part.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: Elliott Barnes

Hi Carol She says "Good evening"? First I've heard of that, she obviously doesn't say it to us either then, or "Good morning", or "Good afternoon" for that matter, (smiles). I know when she is on because the channel jumps from whatever it happens to be on through the built-in Freeview or Sky to TVonics, and once I get that clearance, I can then go to the EPG or library. When I press the stand-by button after use, she does say "Entering stand-by".

Most times this works for me also, but sometimes we know we've left plenty of time and still she won't say "Good evening"! Anyway, we're just treating her with care, not rushing her and being very thankful we have something onto which to record - at last!

A quick turn off (standby) and on again always works for me.

Hi all, We have a fairly regular saying at home which is "Amy's on strike". This simply means that she fails to speak, often after booting up, when we first go to use her. Of course, we find ways round, sometimes needing to reboot the box again; but I wonder if anyone else is finding this problem and if you have a better solution than a bit of hit and miss and, finally, if you've concluded what's going on and why!
