Rickie, Good to hear from you. I have actually kept all Aidan's mails re TVonics box but knowing how technical he is I decided initially this is not for me. However now on reading your mail I am having second thoughts & will check RNIB manual & also give them a call. Thanks for all the info & wishing you & your family all the best for 2013.

Noreen contact r N I B about the box it is a little expensive but you can tune in the box into more than 1 t V. for instance if you had your box in the kitchen it is simple job to move it from the kitchen to the sitting room just simply by unplugging it from the power supply and removing the aerial cable from the back of the T V, and away you go. it is approx 8 inches by 6 wide and probably weighing the same weight as a large novel, less than 4 pounds you can carry it in one hand easily i find the box totally accessable for my needs and remember I am a techno freak in the sense that I can hardly turn on my computer My neighbour without qualification tuned in my box in less than 10 minutes and told me it was easier to tune than his own box. He also gave me a demonstration on how to tune it into any t V which improves my independence that i can gune in my box into any T V in the House. You only have to tune the box into your t V once and then it is merely a matter of plugging the aerial cable into the back of your T V and plug in your box into the electric plug. Noreen I am running a 10year portable T V in the bedroom with the assistance of the TVonics box, and the reception is just as good as the new T v we got last year it has only 1 remote with total voiceassistance Audio descript that can be turned on or off as you wish the number of stations you may be able to get varies from area to area in my particular area i get up to 140 stations depending on the athmosphere but usually never less than 60 or 70 stations at any given time more than enough viewing for anyone The box also has numerous radio stations on it The TVonics box also has 170 hours of recording in it's own hard drive, and you can record on 2 channels at any one time, when you are recording 2 channels you must be viewing one of them you cannot view a third channel. If you purchast through the Rnib you get a 30 day trial with it + a 12 Month Guarantee. You can download the manual from the R N i B website and read it at your leisure Thanks to my old friend Loretta who discovered this for me and I studied the lay-out of the remote until I knew what every button was for, and away i went I found the box a little bit Expensive but really worth the Money and am delighted withit. i Cannot tell anyone what they cost at the moment because the week after i ppurchased the box for 180 pounds + vat I noticed that it was on special offer on the R N I B website for 30 pounds less although a little bit expensive really worth it if you do not have to buy a t V This is the opinion of a technology dunce but maybe Aidan could give the lista better report on the technological aspects of the box Hope this helps Ricky Walsh ________________________________ No virus found in this message.
