Hi Carol and Darren
Yeah, me too. A very funny take on what Will has turned into a gloomy
and
negative thread! (smiles).
Carol, we also have a TV with Freeview built into it, but I don't think
that
will matter once you connect up the box. Only guessing here mind.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Put it in your loft for 50 years then take it to the antiques roadshow.

who is going to buy though the goodmans boxes people may want to sell
though now and the 600 quid portset freeview box, now that we can get
this?
sighted people aren't going to want the portset boxes so what do
people
do with those?

Hi William.
*Sigh*, you really don't get the point do you? This is not some piece
of junk, this is a top quality commercial PVR Freeview tuner with full
text to speech, even the menus and virtually all other functions are
accessible with the exception of internet and teletext, well worth it
at
twice the price. The recorder even looks the piece, a really well
designed and well crafted piece of equipment.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I have been using the Tvonics box for the past 3 weeks and
absolutely
love it. Pretty much every feature speaks apart from the BBC
Iplayer.
The box is of course upgradable so it may well be possible for
Tvonics
to make the Iplayer speak.
I really don't think this is a major downside as everything else on
the box is accessible. The speech is smooth and responsive, you can
add, delete and edit timers, You can series link tv/radio programs
and
much more. When fast forwarding and rewinding you have audio
feedback
as to how far you have moved through the program.
A couple of years ago it was looking as if an accessible PVR would
be
in the range of £500/600 but we have a box for almost a quarter of
that figure.
I don't think anyone will be dissapointed by either the features or
the performance of this box.
It's what we've been waiting for.
I am writing this from a personal standpoint rather than from an
RNIB
sales point of view.
