Hi Billy
Glad to know the Sonata Plus is working out for you, as it does for us.
I'm not sure how Luke might get you an MW feed. I certainly understand what
you are saying and why you need the MW rather than FM stream. I can only
advise you to contact Luke or John on 0871 6642343. If you search the
database yourself, you will probably only get the Radio Scotland FM stream,
but Luke may have other ideas. I do find him most helpful, and commend him
for the work he does in improving the database and making podcasts so
accessible.
Go get it Billy, and good luck! (smile).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sonata ++ again.
hello again Jackie, Hope you do not mind me getting in touch about the
Sanata plus again?.
I have just yesterday got my Sanata Installed, and everything seems to be
just fine.
I'm still setting it up to suit myself, and you were quite correct, the new
Sanata Plus is much much better. Infact, it is just simple the best lol.
I don't know if you can help me with a wee radio freq problem.
I am trying to get the live football frequency here in Scotland into the
Sanata, but so far no luck. The radio station is on the medium wave band.
The program is Sportsound, and its broadcasted on the BBC 801 MW.
I think this freq is correct.
Have you got any Ideas?.
The guy who helped me to install the Sanata plus, told me if I had any
problems to contact Luke for help. You seemed to have good confidence in
Luke as well.
Have you got a direct contact number for Luke, just in case I need him very
quickly lol.
The thing I really like about the new Sanata plus as well is the fact I can
take it to sunny Blackpool on holiday with me, and still be able to use it
fully.
As you know we go to Blackpool at least 3 times per year, and our next visit
is in September week-end. I am thinking of taken the Sanata with us. I
usually take a laptop computer with me, but the Sanata would be much easier,
but that will depend on me being able to receive the footy.
Anyway, enough moaning, and thanks for listening,
Billy
