Hmmm. I thought when they meant digital, they were referring to Freeview, but
perhaps not. God knows Iain.
The article also claims the cheaper of the TV-Onics boxes is the cheapest
Freeview device carrying AD on the market. So what about the Logik model, or
did I really dream that? I'm not only confuzzled, I'm getting worried if I go
to sleep and dream of Freeview boxes sold by RNIB and Currys (smiles).

I thought I'd have a look in the online shop but the shop seems to be closed
or rather the website won't display.
I note the article says, digital TV is not available in all areas.' I had
always thought that digital TV was available in all areas and that it is
Freeview which isn't available in all areas. It certainly isn't available where
I live. Am I right or do they really mean digital TV?

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.
