Hi Carol, I'm afraid I'm not sure on that one. If it's missed the speech start up at the tuning stage you might have to go through the manual speech start up. I think these were posted on the list recently. The problem I have is that we recently had an extension done and the telly is in a different room now. The loft ariel is accessible at the other end of the property smiles. I need to get it redirected. I tried a little set top ariel which was totally crap! Haha, picked up about 60 stations but the signal was very intermitten. So, I have to wait now to get the ariel sorted before I can play!

Right? I'll give that a go later (hopefully this evening) when I have someone else to help me reach the power point so I can start from scratch once again. Should I still be able to press the blue button before tuning commences in order to get speech on? (If nobody knows a definite answer on this one then I'll just wait and hopefully get it tuned first.) -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Steve Hyde-Dryden" <csdryden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 3:39 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TVonics Setup Questions > Hi Carol, smiles.
