Hi Carol

I did wonder, (smiles).  I hope you are able to carry on
using your unit though.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Sorry, Jackie, I was being flippant.  She doesn't say
"Good evening" but I was sort of suggesting that she
might, if she were in a good mood and ready for work!

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".


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

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!

One thing I have noticed is that pressing buttons on
the remote during the Tvonics boot up significantly
increases the likelihood of getting no speech. A quick
turn off (standby) and on again always works for me.

Hi all,

We have a fairly regular saying at home which is "Amy's
on strike". This simply means that she fails to speak,
often after booting up, when we first go to use her.
Of course, we find ways round, sometimes needing to
reboot the box again;  but I wonder if anyone else is
finding this problem and if you have a better solution
than a bit of hit and miss and, finally, if you've
concluded what's going on and why!

This does lead me to another question which someone may be able to explain:

One of the things we have noticed is that Amy doesn't speak if we want to turn off the box and a recording is in progress. Is this a design or a fault? I don't fully understand how the box works with regard to being on/off/in standby when it comes to recording, though I do know the recording are made via the aerial so I am guessing that it doesn't really matter if the box is on or off; but perhaps I'm wrong here!
