Hi Paul
Many thanks for that. I'm looking forward to it. We sometimes like to
watch documentaries or Crimewatch, and miss them because we simply forget to
faff around checking on a TV listings site. Sounds very good.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie
It's pretty easy. Your tv should pick up the box automatically. When you
switch on the box for the first time press the blue button (very bottom
right of the remote). The box should then speak and talk you through the
tuning process.
The box needs a connection to a good tv aerial too.
If for any reason it doesn't talk then speech can be turned on from the
menu.
Since buying the box i've recorded around 25 programs. It makes watching tv
much easier and you can easily plan what you want to watch and record. It
handles radio too.
