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! Haha

Steve

Thanks, Steve:

OK, so all I need in is the aerial cable from outside and the HDMI cable
plugged into the socket nearest the aerial cable.  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.)
