Well, that doesn't surprise me at all.  We still have ours working at present, 
thankfully.

  Hi Carol

  Sadly, I don't have any more of these to sell, although I am looking at 
sourcing some more as they are immensely popular. If the List moderator does 
not mind, I will happily advise the list when I do have some more in. Mark, 
tvonicks were acquired by a company called pulsate a couple of years ago and 
they're licensing arrangement with RNIBsadly was not renewed. Pulse8  have 
decided that they do not want to continue in the free view market given the 
immense saturation this market has already, so these boxes will be in very 
limited supply as once they are gone, they are gone.

    Well, I meant that RNIB no longer stock it.  You can still get it at the 
moment I think from Ibrahim on list and maybe other stockists.

    I was just guessing that sooner or later it will either be superceded by 
something else or just won't be available any more, which is why I was asking 
about the Tivo box because we used to have TV via Virgin Media.

      Thanks, John.

      Thanks for the latest here.

      We stopped using NTL fopr our TV a while back now when we purchased the 
TVONICS but, with the gradual decline of these, we're just looking at our 
options now because we still have Cable facility.

      Cheers.

        Hi Carol


        The Tivo app is fully accessible. Your Tivo box needs to be physically 
connected to your home router though. Mine are in separate rooms but I use a 
network solution that uses the electrical power circuits. 


        Yes, you can set up recordings and use it as a Tivo remote. You can 
stream programmes to your iPhone but unfortunately you don’t get the audio 
description.

        Hi all,


        I wonder if someone can confirm just what the situation is now with the 
Tivo box and VI's.  At one point the box was working quite well with the 
iPhone's app, but I'd like to know if this is still the case and what the 
restrictions are, if any.  Can you record using this app?


        Thanks for any current information anyone can give on this.


        Carol P
