do you have a tablet for your autistic child to use?

[thisisyesterday]

wondering whether this is something that might benefit DS1?

I was reading a thing the other day about how certains apps can be useful for helping autistic children learn about social situations, empathy, stuff like that

i am not sure i'm convinced, but figured if anyone knew, you lot would!

oh,

I did try before (have dvd recorder) but it didn't work. possibly because I have a cheapshit dvd rcorder, and cannot quite remember what setting to write to disc with... will work on that bit.

thankyou - can work on getting some space back on my V+ box now

Ben10 here is the link Record Sky+
you will need a DVD recorder and a scart cable, Instructions below.

As long as the DVD / VCR are connected correctly (select SCART-RGB) to the Sky+ box
If you only one HDMI on the recorder use this for direct connection to the TV (assuming TV has 2 x HDMI inputs for HD)
alongside the HDMI from the Sky+ box.

You should be able to use the procedure below to record the programmes you have stored on your Sky+ system.

Copy to VCR / DVD procedure in the old EPG (no preview window)
Press TV guide on the Sky Remote Control.
Press the green button to display the Sky+ Planner.
Use the up/down arrows to highlight the programme to be copied.
Press the red button to mark the programme as Copy.
Repeat steps 3 to 4 for each programme to be copied as required.
When all desired programmes are marked as Copy press the select button.
Enter your PIN if requested.
When the information banner appears, press record on the VCR / DVD recorder
then press select on the Sky Remote Control very quickly to ensure the Sky+ does not jump to the next screen.
A confirmation screen will appear showing the programme information.
After this the programme will start to play out.

Thank you so much Dev :)

If you want to rip stuff off DVD, I use this software, Catalyst 4. You can buy software from this website www.tools4movies.com/ for about 10 dollars. This converts DVD's into any format you want for windows/android/apple devices etc.

My ds has an iPad. Fantastic. Good tip to splash out on the greater memory though.

Try family fund.
