Hi Eleanor
Yes they are good guys round here, but I wish I could have done it myself
out of the box with speech as others have done. Never mind, at least BT
have been and gone with no hiccups, and we are on Infinity now with most of
the WiFi keys changed over which we did ourselves. Phew!! (smile).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
