Jackie,
the Logik box is advertised by RNIB at £79.95 and I purchased one from
Currys yesterday costing £59.99 plus £4.95 delivery. They have a scheme
whereby you can pick up items from one of their stores, thus not paying
delivery, but the Logik box is not purchaseable in that way. I just heard
that mine is on its way, so if you want one, supplies may well be running
low. It is definitely the one with AD.

HI Jackie et al - apologies for out of sequence reply - got a bit behind
on Email. I'm pretty sure the TVonics STB is the same beast as the Logic
box - I found an article on RicAbilities site reviewing the unit saying it
is sold under both names by different suppliers - I tried mail TVonics at
that time to see if they had a price and date of availability but got no joy
but looks like the RNIB offering is the answer.

Subject: [access-uk] RNIB's Freeview Set Top Boxes
Hi Gang
A few weeks ago, some members of this list were discussing a Logik
Freeview box supporting Audio Description that they could purchase from
Currys for £59.99. Then, more recently, I thought I read here that RNIB
were selling this same box for a bit more than that, around £70 I thought I
saw.
Well, in the latest issue of RNIB's Access IT mag, they are advertising
two Freeview boxes, both supporting AD. One is the TV-Onics MFR300 (product
number TV02), costing £70.49. The other is the TV-Onics MDR300 (product
number TV01), costing £82.24). The difference is that the more expensive of
the two gives an audible bleep when you change channels, and a double
audible bleep when AD is available.
Now for my question. Is the Logik Freeview box also being sold by RNIB,
or did I get it wrong, and the above devices from TV-Onics are additional
Freeview products to their range? I would happily ring Customer Services,
but they don't always know the latest information, as they are often quick
to point out.
