I ordered it a couple of weeks ago when I realised my Net Jem was on its last legs and got an email from RNIB saying that expected delivery was going to be the week beginning 16 August. Well mine turned up early.Yusuf----- Original Message ----- From: "Elliott Barnes" <elliottabarnes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2010 12:38 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: goodmans talking freeview boxJust out of itnerest, how wre you able to get this?

Especially as we're going to buy one and herreply is as follows. "He was flicking through fine when i was talking to him earlier.Wonderif she has it upside down? Apparently there is a mistake in theinstructionthat say certain connections and buttons go from left to right when they really go the other way. He said he thought you could alter the volumeoftv and speech independently but hadn't worked out how yet. " Barry.

Just wondering if any of you've order and received this box. I've got mine today. I think it's a great idea. My 1 gripe though is that I'm finding it extremely difficult to hit the sensor with the remote. On previous freeview boxes, this was a breeze. If I aimed the remote ateventhe tv screen, I could change channels, but not with this 1. I've always have my freeview box on top of the telly, which has caused no problems inthe past. But I often get no response when pressing butttons. when Ihadthe box on my knee, it was much better. I'm thinking the sensor might beonthe underside of the box at the front. If that's the case, how stupid!Iintend to contact goodmans on this, as I believe it doesn't say where thesensor is on the remote. also, the volume of the guide speech is a lot louder than the volume of programmes through the tv. Have you receivedyourbox yet, and how've you found it so far? The sluggish responsesexplainedwhy I initially couldn't set it up, but once I overcame that, there wasnoissue there. Jill.
