hi Ibrahim: thanks for that. so the setting within settings about automatic channel update doesn't do much then? it gives the impression the box will autotune as it were once you have first tuned. I'll see later on today if I get a box that says, please retune the box. *smile* ----- Original Message ----- From: Ibrahim Gucukoglu To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 12:48 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: tvonix box automatic channel update? Hi Martin. Here is what the TVonics website has to say about retuning. I’ve followed these instructions myself and they apply equally to the speech enabled boxes. The switchover is a two-stage process, which means that you will need to retune your digital box at each of the two stages of the switchover or if you have lost any TV channels. You should retune your TVonics box on a regular basis as this ensures that you keep your equipment up to date, and that you have all the latest channels. Retuning couldn’t be easier, just follow the instructions below: a.. Switch on your TVonics Freeview box, press ‘menu’ on your remote control b.. Using the down arrow button select ‘Tuning’ on the fourth line of the menu. Press ‘OK’. c.. Using the down arrow button select ‘Automatic Search’. Press ‘OK’.You will see a message appear on your screen ‘Your previous channel list will be replaced’ d.. Using the right/left arrow select ‘YES’ and press ‘OK’ e.. A scanning screen will appear, where no action is required f.. A sorting screen will then appear, where no action is required g.. A confirmation screen will appear. Press ‘OK’ h.. BBC1 will play out behind the menu. Press ‘MENU’ to return to normal programming. You have now completed the process and can continue to enjoy viewing digital channels. N.B. Depending on the TVonics model, you may be asked to enter a PIN when accessing the tuning menu. If you have not already set a PIN then the default code is 0000. I’d only add that you might be asked to select your regions, this is so you get the right channels for your area. All the best, Ibrahim.

I have a free retuning day tomorrow. does the tonics retune itself? or do you have to do automatic search? also, what happens to all the recording setups you've done? thanks.
