Hi Will,

I don’t think there is a bug with the Programme Guide.

A sighted friend described the Sky EPG to me some time ago and explained that the screen is split into half hour columns. If a programme is 30 minutes or less, a single right cursor will move over it. If the programme is more than 30 minutes it may be necessary to press the cursor more than once.

I’ve just tried the EPG on the TVonics for ITV this afternoon and it is working in the same way as the Sky EPG.

Regards.

Ian

Subject: [access-uk] initial comments on tvonics

hi all, i took the plunge and got my tvonics today. overall it is i agree leaps and bounds over goodmans or even portsets offering.
couple of queries please.
what cable can i connect to the optical out? is this for say a phono to headphone jack to record to say a dvd or a computer if we want?
the program guide or is it just me, has a bug.
when one arrows through it i agree it will not be the most responsive as the ivona voice is of an exceptional quality so you have to accept trade-offs, but i find repetitions keep occurring. that is to say, i may press right arrow and hear eastenders 19:30-20:00 then when i right arrow id on't hear the next program, but eastenders, again. is this normal please? learning the basics of it now but the scart set up for me at least, was fine. when i connected my aerial cable, and scart lead and turn on the tv the box came up talking and asked me to press blue (bottom right hand button) for talking features.

Finally when i set the tv linking up and turn off the tv with the tv button it does not turn on again via the same button but requires the physical tv remote to be used.
any thoughts on comments?
overall though great job, set up a couple of recording for this afternoon, too
