Jackie, not only can you use sky talker with nome, (using an rs232 splitter; one male to two female) you can wire it up to be operated by, and talk through gnome. but, even on a non-hd sky+ box, the usefullness of the talker is severely limmited, and the "quack quack" voice becomes stupendously annoying!!!
if you want chapter and verse, get in touch. John----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Peter Am I right in assuming the Sky Talker doesn't work on an HD box then? Andwhere on the Sky box does it connect? I use my Sky gnome and wouldn't wantto sacrifice it for the Talker.

It allows the box to tell you the name of the channel your on, the programme that is on now and also the recordedprogramme you are playing. It also will read the synopsis for the programme your on. It doesn't read any menus or anything else although when in a menu it does say that audio feedback isn't available or something which in itselfcan be useful as then you know the box is in a menu. That said I no longer have Sky and use a PC with a satelite TV tuner in it to receive Freesat channels using WIndows Media Centre.

Can you tell me what features it has and what you think of it?
