Hi Jackie,
Yep, you are a legend, in your own mind. I on the other hand, am a legend,
in my own time <Big Smile>.
All the best

James, but I don't think the Netgem box, which we also have and call the
carpet-sweeper, is available any longer.
And you got it spot on, I am a legend!! (smile).

Can I just chip in here to say that if the RNIB boxes don't read channel
names when you switch from one station to another, then the Netgem IPlayer
is much more worth the money at £90, well at least that's what it cost when
I bought one.

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.
