Hi Andy,
Yes it is most certainly a recorder with the best access to the recorded 
material that I have ever seen(heard!)
No AD on Freeview in Ireland so I cannot comment on that but I don't see why it 
would not be included in the recording.

Aedan.

Hi all -
 
Is the TVOnics a recorder as well as an accessible freeview tuner? If so, 
does it record the AD track as well with the programme? -

        Hello Ibrahim, Pulse-eight seem to have offices dotted all over the 
place!  it's very early days of course but, at the moment, they seem to be 
promoting the dtrz500.  I shall try and find out if they intend to improve the 
rather flakey programmkme software, let's hope!

                Hi Fran.
                 
                No, none of the bush range of TVâs have voice over, if you want 
a talking Freeview system then the best bet would be the TVonics now 
pulse-eight units with the integrated speech output.  You can still get TVonics 
boxes off EBay and install the text to speech option, if you want to go down 
this route then Iâd be happy to help you source and guide you through the 
installation of said speech.
                 
                All the best, Ibrahim.

                Hi Andy.

                 

                Unfortunately because I live alone and don't have anyone else 
to account to, I couldnât give a toss about the picture quality on my set.  All 
I know about the screen is the resolution and that its an HD ready TV, my 
support worker who has to help me sort some technical glitches sometimes tells 
me that the viewing quality is perfectly acceptable, however probably due to 
the size she wouldnât want to watch a blockbuster on it.  I should also mention 
that my set does have a DVD player built in, so doubtless somewhere theyâve 
made compromises, no picture up scaling for one thing when dvdâs are being 
played.

                 

                All the best, Ibrahim.

                Thanks Ibrahim - I've got to find good sound, for me, and good 
picture for my partner. I like to read up on what Which have to say, but think 
sometimes especially when it comes to TVs, they get a bit obsessed with picture 
perfection, but then again, what do I know <smile> -

                        Hi Andy.

                         

                        Youâre probably going to think me silly for 
recommending this, however i picked up a Bush 24 inch LED TV from Argos for 
around Â170 which I use as I don't need a big screen TV for my living room, 
however the sound quality from the built in speakers is rather quite good.  Iâm 
no audiophile by any means, however you might want to consider the bush range 
as if my set is anything to go by, the sound should be perfectly acceptable.  
Of course if you want anything more substantial then you should invest in a 2.1 
piece speaker system at least or a home theatre set.  Incidentally my set does 
have an audio description feature, it even has an AD on off button on the 
remote.

                         

                        All the best, Ibrahim.

                        Hi all -

                         

                        I'm in the market for a new TV, and have been doing 
some research. I thought I had heard it said that Sony and Panasonic now come 
with Freeview and AD built-in as standard? This doesn't appear to be the case 
in the lower price bracket [around the 5-700 quid tag]

                         

                        I have seen some Panasonics and Samsungs in that price 
range with AD, but not Sony. I'm looking at Sony as I think they have the 
better sound quality, but that might not be the case, and certainly looking on 
the Which website, Sony sound scores 3 out of 5 at best for sound, and often 
[on cheaper models] only 2 out of 5.

                         

                        So, I'd appreciate some feedback on good sounding TVs 
[I know slim sets these days means poorer sound generally, but would still like 
to know what people think of as a reasonable sound across the range, along with 
built-in Freeview and Ad.

                         

                        Thanks -

                         

                        Andy
