Hi Carol She says "Good evening"? First I've heard of that, she obviously doesn't say it to us either then, or "Good morning", or "Good afternoon" for that matter, (smiles). I know when she is on because the channel jumps from whatever it happens to be on through the built-in Freeview or Sky to TVonics, and once I get that clearance, I can then go to the EPG or library. When I press the stand-by button after use, she does say "Entering stand-by".

Most times this works for me also, but sometimes we know we've left plenty of time and still she won't say "Good evening"! Anyway, we're just treating her with care, not rushing her and being very thankful we have something onto which to record - at last!
