Thanks for that, but what I was meaning I am unable to use my cable box now as i can no longer read the on screen menus which control TV on demand and the EPG etc. I have a Virgin V+ box with 160GB hard drive installed. It would be useful if Virgin would update their software to enable the user interface to have Text to Speech, but I can't see it happening. So a good compromise would be to enable the iPhone to log into my Virgin account and access the cable box remotely enabling voice over to control the cable box. On 28 Jun 2010, at 1
If Apple update their Apple TV box, I would hope to find some actual TV features that enable hard disk recording and access to a digital TV guide. > > On Jun 27, 2010, at 5:17 PM, Chris Moore wrote: > Snip... >> Actually I am very jealous as this time last year when I could see I would >> have killed for a mac with HDMI on i for my living room.
