Hi Gordon,

Can you tell me what software release you are using that works well with the
Freecom USB Freeview receiver so I can ring Freecom and see if it should
work with this receiver and if so asked them if they can send that software
to me?

If they are unable to help me then I will come back to you to ask if you
could send the software to me as I can't see any issues with copy right.

Thanks again.

Mark

Hi Mark and Robert
It's likely that you are using the Freecom stick with their latest software,

which I gather is not too accessible. The earliest appears to have been the 
best. They ship the product with a different company's software program - 
I'm not sure whether their own program is on your disk or not. Having spoken

to their technical help they are not too complimentary about the current 
software. If you find you have their own software and you can't get it to 
work, assuming there' no major difference in thehardware, then you could try

to get an earlier software copy - perhaps from the websit, the echnical help

people, or if it's not causing copyright problems - I can't see how it is if

you have bought the sticks - I could send it to you.

Later versions of Jaws work well with it - yes there are buttons on the 
screen which don't identify themselves, but when you're in the screen window

you should be able to use the fairly extensive context menu, by right 
clicking on it or by using the right hand context menu key on the keyboard. 
Also there were shortcuts, e.g. control and 'e' for the epg, control and 'o'

to give a file open and utility menu. Most things work by keypresses.
Hope ties helps.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem as Mark too!  Any help on or off list would
be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Robert
