Hi Darren

Having done a little research on the Nebula tv card, and hav ing previously 
tried to use a set top box with an internal ariel I am not sure that any 
digital TV reciever wil work with an internal ariel.

Has anyone had any previous experience of this?

Hi

The freeview box you mentioned is the Logik, thats Logik with a K. LDR V3 and 
is available from the Curry's website  www.currys.co.uk and cost £66 including 
delivery.

I ordered one earlier this week and am awaiting its arrival.  Unfortunately I 
do not have access to the rooftop aerial in the room I want to have the box and 
will probably have to buy a decent indoor one to recieve the digital channels, 
but I won't know that until I try it out.

Darren.

Hi

I agree that the Virgin package is quite reasonably priced.

The only other reasoable option is the new freeview box that has AD facilities 
on it, I thinkg I saw it quoted at £59.  It doesn't have any other accessible 
features, but would work with your existing tv.

The only tv sets I am aware of that have AD from Free view are made by 
Panasonic and Sony.

All of this information is avaialbe on www.tvhelp.org.uk and they also list the 
AD shows and DVDs.

I would recommend the site.

Hi all,

Last Night I foolishly forgot that "The Bill" was on ITV1 at 8:00 PM, so I 
missed an episode.  when I wrote to a discussion list related to the program, 
someone said that the program I had missed would be repeated on
ITV3 on tomorrow.

I can not currently receive ITV3 as I have an analogue TV, and as both my self 
and my wife are fans of "The Bill, and my wife is totally Blind, we were 
thinking about looking into replacing our current TV with a model that is 
accessible and can pick up freeview, (although we would not be able to have an 
external aerial fitted as we live in a shared ownership property, partly owned 
by a Housing association), so I am wondering if anyone can point me in the 
direction of any accessible models of TV that they think I should look at.

Thank you in advance for any advice.
