Hi Gang

A few weeks ago, some members of this list were discussing a Logik Freeview box 
supporting Audio Description that they could purchase from Currys for £59.99.  
Then, more recently, I thought I read here that RNIB were selling this same box 
for a bit more than that, around £70 I thought I saw.

Well, in the latest issue of RNIB's Access IT mag, they are advertising two 
Freeview boxes, both supporting AD.  One is the TV-Onics MFR300 (product number 
TV02), costing £70.49.  The other is the TV-Onics MDR300 (product number TV01), 
costing £82.24).  The difference is that the more expensive of the two gives an 
audible bleep when you change channels, and a double audible bleep when AD is 
available.

Now for my question.  Is the Logik Freeview box also being sold by RNIB, or did 
I get it wrong, and the above devices from TV-Onics are additional Freeview 
products to their range?  I would happily ring Customer Services, but they 
don't always know the latest information, as they are often quick to point out.
