Hi Jackie. Thanks for your response.The reason I ask is because I have seen that one of the big manufactureres, I think it was Pure, seem to have a web portal that you become a subscriber to. I gathered the idea was that you setup all your radio stations on the web then somehow, using wifi magic, your station list jumps onto your wifi portable digital radio in the kitchen or by your bedside. And I was kinda hoping that they might be automatically assigned with physical keys at that stage.
Have you looked at anything like this? Perhaps the accompanying web portal doesn't do quite what I want it to?
I guess that the wep key would have to be input by a sightie come what may but, using the web as a control panel, you could load up the radio with your fave stations easily if someone had the nouse to do this.

Hi DamonIt's going to depend on how much sight you have. I can't, for example, access any of those radios. Unless you have sighted assistance to put your WiFi key in, then get you to any one of the thousands of stations, you are stuffed. These radios have so few controls and buttons on them now that a menu structure is the dreaded swear word I'm afraid!Jackie Cairns Braille Specialist Email: jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sight and Sound Technology Ltd Welton House North Wing Summerhouse Road Moulton Park Northampton NN3 6WD Tel: 01604 798024 Mob: 07887 883815 www.sightandsound.co.uk -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DamonSent: 30 December 2009 09:25 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] portable wifi internet radioHi.
