Hi Kevin and Carol.Kevin, you need to use the TVonics dongle as this has been specifically designed to work with the box. Internet connectivity options are in the services menu and will only become available if the dongle or a LAN connection are established.
Carol, you don't need to connect this box to the internet. Apart from anything else, the benefits are nominal, you'll only be able to update the firmware which is a straight forward enough process anyway using a pen drive. A cheap pen drive is all that's needed so the dongle is a rather superfluous expense if you ask me.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: Carol Pearson

Martin, Where did you get the wifi dongle, please? I'm wondering if it's worth going this route. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: william lomas To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 18, 2012 9:22 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: T Vonics Freeview hd recorder and accessing the internet

It seems to be working very well and have gone through the network set up with no problem and the network test comes as being connected. However, could someone please explain to me how you actually bring up a web page and search for things like software updates? I know it can receive the I player, but it is not accessible with the text to speech at the moment. Many thanks for any help anyone can give me on this matter. Martin
