Re: Xap Stuff

["Frank Mc Alinden" <armagh@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul
            I did
have a play with that idea a while back and from memory i
used my video recorder and was able to super impose the message on all
channels watched on that particular tv .......(but had to use the video
recorder for channel selection ) I have it now  on a normal tv channel
and
would use my ir system to switch to each Tv to the   HA 
channel  to display
messages........
