Hi Carol, smiles. Me too! Pressing the blue button for me didn't get the speech on either however a couple of points. If you are connecting your box via the RF ariel leads then you don't need the HDMI connector. If you want to use the HDMI connector, then you don't need to run the ariel cable from the box to the tv. I'd advise using the HDMI as you'll gain the benefits of auto switching etc. Hope that helps Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 08 May 2012 15:00 To: Access UK Mailing List Subject: [access-uk] TVonics Setup Questions Hi all, Well, thankfully my TVonics arrived today and I've tried setting up as follows: My aerial cable (from outside) is in the Aerial in socket, The other aerial socket has the aerial between box and TV. The HDMI cable between TV and box as stated in instructions. It does not state in the instructions whether you need to tune the box independently first, before putting on the TV, so we've tried tuning both ways. On each occasion, we've said OK to tune, since there doesn't seem to be any other option my friend can see, and the tuning has just gone on and on ... so we've turned off the power to the box, given it a good 20 seconds and tried again with TV on, but still no go! In addition, when we first switched on, we pressed the blue button, as speech didn't automatically come on. We still haven't managed to get speech on as there seems to be no bypassing the channel search. Hopefully someone somewhere can pinpoint where we've gone wrong, advise of anything else I can do, and we can get up and running very soon. Thanks for any advice for this poor novice who's never set up a TV and box before! <Smiles> -- Carol P ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
