Madeline, I've got a couple of what might seem naive questions that I need answers for. 1. Once you have recorded onto the hard drive will the box read the list of programmes to watch 2. I assume that you can also play pre-recorded DVD's on the box, and if so, will the box read out the contents list on these DVD's? Thanks.

The box is fully accessible and Ivona a high quality real speech is used.
