Hi Carol
Well I'm having one of those days where everything happens and everyone
comes at once, so I haven't had any real time to play with my new toy, and
have been going round instead putting in wireless keys and ensuring BT works
well.
I must say that the Apple products were the easiest to do in this regard,
(no surprise there then), (smiles).
Madleen is very helpful, but the instructions should have made her
explanation abundantly clear which they did not I have to say. Never mind,
it's more or less sorted now. Still waiting on Braille instructions too,
but am using my BrailleSense to read it for now. It's fine, but you can't
beat hard copy Braille to really jump about.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie,
From my experience, it seems that, as Madleen so kindly alerted me, you have
to plug in the box, then wait for the OK that it wants to proceed with a
tune, then you press the blue button and that did work for me eventually!
However, if you try pressing the blue button too soon then it doesn't appear
to work and, anyway, how do you know when the screen is showing the message
anyway? (I would like to have seen the input clearer for us at that stage.)
I gather, anyway, that you're now up and running and that's a good thing.
Have to set up my first recordings tonight, but we have a problem with our
TV (which was there before we set up the box) so we may not get what we
want!
