Can you elaborate on this please, an idea of what may be available could convince me to also wait and see before I purchase something that would be probably something I wouldn't have purchased if I knew what was around the corner.


Thanks
Martin

Although I don't have specific details, I gather that exciting accessible
solutions may be available shortly.
I'm certainly going to wait.

Hi Sayka

We have the Logik box from RNIB and, although it plays audio description,
and although there is a button to switch it on and off, I wish we had not
bothered getting it.  This is our third box.  The previous boxes worked for
a time and then died before the warranty ran out.

It is not possible, as far as I know, to access any of the other on-screen
features such as the EPG, and it does not record.

The Nebula Digi-TV box plugged into a PC is best for recording.
