We said the until it was full. You can delete programmes from your library whenever you wish.

Hi Jackie,

Will asked the question and I believe it ws someone from
RNIB who said you had to wait for the HD to fill up before
you could delete programmes.

Know your products RNIB.

I thought some on the list were saying you couldn't delete
programmes until
the HD filled up?  Thank God for sanity!! (smile).

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.

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 the

EPG 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

it
was 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 Got

Talent ended, which is what we were watching, we went to

see if the

Channel
Five 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.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Jackie,

I know all about those days ... but do find it useful to

have both

BrailleNote and Braille hard copy instructions.  Because

I'm "old school",


I
take in more reading hard copy but do like, once I know an

instruction

book
a 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'm
well happy!

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!

Hi 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.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

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>
