Until you get the SCART cable, to save swapping between the Telewest

. . . or looked in the Book of Words - since all else seems to have

I don't understand the book of words :-(

Don't worry, Dave. You are not alone.

The problem with modern manuals is that they are written by someone that
knows the product inside out. They tell you what a button or socket
does, but not how to use it.

I remember about 20 to 25 years ago, we bought a video recorder and it
took me 2 weeks of going through various sections of the manual to
extract all the information to set it to record a prog.
