Thanks for coming back Mairead.
No, I haven't got it sorted yet but will try and get some sighted help later
in the week. Trying to customise without sighted assistance is a bit hit
and miss as jaws cursor mode doesn't appear to supply sufficient
information. I was kind of hoping that someone out there had figured it out
without the aid of a sighted person, hence my last enquiry. If I'm still
having trouble I'll make contact again in a week or so.
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul. Am glad you find the tv guide useful. You got further at
setting it up than I did as I had to get a sighted person to make the
changes for me. I am sorry I can't explain the settings that were
made to work with jaws any better as the person that made the changes
for me is away at the moment for a few weeks. Maybe if a sighted
person helps you they might see the options on the screen. Those
changes are necessary so that it will update the programmes
automatically every 2 weeks once you are connected to the Internet.
Let me know if you haven't got it working yet and I will try and sort
out something.
Regards Mairead O Mahony
