Hi Jackie, who said you couldn't delete a programme? Of course you can, just press the red button when a programme in the library is highlighted.
John.

Hi Carol Yes, I now have both and I'm happy too, mainly because it's exactly for me as it is for you, old school! (smiles). In fact, I've now managed to record a couple of programme series from theEPG and, for those who said you couldn't delete stuff from the HD, you can.We tried an experiment last night as I found it staggering that you would have to wait for the HD to fill up before you could delete its contents.We recorded, just for the hell of it, 10 minutes of Channel Five news as itwas just something short and sweet to try out. We were watching something else, so set a timer for it. When it started, we got an audible announcement while we were watching another channel. After Britain's GotTalent ended, which is what we were watching, we went to see if the ChannelFive news had come out, and so it had. Then we went into the library and deleted it. Our library was then empty, so I don't understand what people mean when they say you can't delete programmes from the HD because the instructions and those I followed clearly worked. It says in the manual that you can delete recordings and timers. If I'm missing something, or have got this wrong, then please accept my apologies. So far though, so good.

Because I'm "old school", I take in more reading hard copy but do like, once I know an instruction booka little, to use the "Find" of the BN to get where I want to get quickly.Make sense! Probably not, but then never mind ... Now we have both and I'mwell happy! -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 3:18 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TVonics Setup QuestionsHi 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.

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! -- Carol P ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 9:55 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TVonics Setup QuestionsHi Carol et al, So glad you've raised this as I was going to. Our box arrived yesterday. We plugged the HDMI cable into the TV and TVonics, and of course the roof aerial. The problem is that Martin no longer has enough sight to read anything, but could just about detect there was some writing on the screen. I pressed the blue button on the remote, but nothing happened. There was no speech, and I can't skip through the AV settings on our TV as I don't know where the AV button is on the telly's remote control. I was under the impression, obviously the wrong one, that this product spoke out of the box once it was plugged in. According to the instructions - and therein lies a real gripe with me - you plug in the leads, press the blue button and away you go. As for the instructions, I was told a Braille copy of these would be sent with my box. When it arrived, there were no instructions, except the standard print variety which, of course, were of no consequence to ourselves. We downloaded a Word copy from the RNIB online shop and have put them onto my BrailleSense until the hard copy Braille instructions arrive. Until we get sighted assistance, I think we are stuck to be honest. We hear the box whirring, but can't go any further. I have a feeling that, when we turn on the TV, it jumps automatically to the new box, but it just doesn't speak, and I don't want to go pressing buttons here and there in case we make the situation worse.

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** 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** 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
