Hi Ibrahim - Pity that, but I'm sure I can just live with it.

Can you get me started? What will I need to do after plugging in, to have it speak so I can tune it in? -

Hi Andy.

This is a real nuisance on the TVonics unfortunately, there is no way to prevent this unless you manually set each program to record. I'd suggest trimming your library every so often by deleting the episodes you know to be repeats, this can be easily done as it is possible to select multiple programs for deletion.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Jackie - Yep, I'm not the first to complain when something doesn't meet
my every need first time it hits the market place. We are moving forwards,
and that is great, and I'm happy to find work arounds where possible, with
what I have.

Just one question: I understand that the TVonics allows for series
recording, and I recall that some said if you choose this option for the
soaps, like Corrie, all the repeats on ITV2 get recorded as well. I'm
wondering were those initial findings, and if you or anybody found a way to
record each episode in a series, without picking up the repeats as well? -

Hi Andy

Some people changed their hard drives for a larger capacity, and I believe one or two people reported stuttering speech. We don't use ours every day, or even every week, but it works a treat when we do. We don't keep recorded
programmes once viewed either, and just delete them.  I wish the box had
more outlets on it, but it's so much better than not having something with
speech on it and that, after all, is our big moan isn't it?

Enjoy.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Thanks Pele, Martin, Jackie and Niamh for this helpful feedback. I seem to
remember people having problems, to the point that some resold theirs on
recycle-it, and others returned theirs because they were faulty. I can't
remember what the issues were now. Can anybody flag up if there are any
known issues of significance?

Thanks -

Andy

Hi Andy

Peter and I bought our TVOnics in May and are really pleased with it. We
have recorded a vast number of programmes and hardly ever watch live
television
now, except for sport.

Twice it has stopped speaking for some reason, but I have solved this by
switching it off and on at the mains. It usually stays on Standby all the
time.

We had trouble at TV Switch-Over, but I used the Manual Tuning option and
it works fine now.

Last week the remote control started misbehaving, but that was put right
with new batteries.

I hope there will be more developments, such as a way to find out how full

the disc is. This is displayed on the screen when the Library is accessed,

but it is not
spoken.
