Gordon That site didn?t work. I got a loud male voice telling me the page was not available, and to press the red button for back and the blue button for home. I pressed home, and it seemed to be about Netgem, plus links to things like RNIB services. As Netgem doesn?t make the talking Freeview box any more, I am not sure how helpful this site would be.

I know it speaks, but £620 for that? Phew! I loved their Talking Teletext unit when I had mine, but that was when there wasn't so much information available elsewhere. Certain Freeview boxes, while they don't provide speech navigation, do offer Audio Description, and there are also lots of DAISY players on the market to tap into. I just think it's well OTT.

I've been reading about the Portset Accessible Freeview Receiver and I'm quite interested in it. I'm wondering if anyone on this list has one, or knows anything about them. I've listened to the audio demo on the Portset website and it seems very accessible. Any feedback would be grate as I'd love to have an accessible freeview receiver.
