Here's the start up video. I hope it shows how well it works.

Excellent, I'd be interested to see what you think. I still love mine.

It has arrived and after a surprisingly simple setup I used this in the Op tonight.

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic. Really adds to the immersion.

I should really be on commission, Neal got his last week.
Absolutely superb piece of kit and I'm relieved you like it.
You know how to work the 3rd button for dialling up and down? That took me a while to figure that out, and to change my overhead bulb to a fluorescent one.

Hi Andrew,

It's early days and I've not used button 3 yet, so would welcome any tips you have.

Removing all other sources of IR, for me, just required the curtains to be closed so I think I'm good on that front.

If you would like to scroll a rotary either left or right.
Move the cursor off the dial and click top or middle button (depending which way you would like to go), then move cursor to the rotary and click lower button, or hold. It will turn the rotary a small amount, holding will slowly turn it. To go the other way, move off the dial and click the top or middle button and repeat.
To turn rotary quickly, press and hold top button and move hand up or down.

Did you buy the extra buttons?

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Yes, I did get the extra buttons. Not sure what I'll use them for at the moment.
