Hi Scott Yep, I agree. Mine goes in the bathroom too, often!! I think it's one of my favourite gadgets actually.

Are you shore that the one you had is working right? Sorry I'm shore you'd know if not, it's just that I've never found it to be anything like as you describe. I've got one and love it. I've always found the sound to be good. OK it's no hi fi, but for it's size and perpus it's good I've found. Sky sports news and UK gold in the bath? Fantastic. Ta Scott. -----Original Message----- From: Ibrahim Gucukoglu - Email Address: ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx Sent On: 18/01/2009 11:27 Sent To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Email Address: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sky Gnome Hi Jackie. What you don't mention is that they are absolutely rubbish. I bought one of these fellows as you put it and it cost me 70 quid in to the bargain. The speakers on the thing are tinny, the device itself is very heavy and unwieldy having no handle and you don't get much usage out of a single charge. If they are giving them away for free then that's perhaps saying something, but they aren't worth buying. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Cairns To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: bcab@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; uk-radio-listeners@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 10:30 AM Subject: [access-uk] Sky Gnome Please forgive the cross-posting. But thought those who don't receive RNIB's Access IT, or who haven't heard elsewhere, might like to know that the Sky Gnome is available free of charge from RNIB while stocks last. There have been threads on this device in the past, and I can provide a review of how it works off list if anyone would like a copy. If you have Sky, this is a really great little fellow to have around as he will relay any Sky broadcast you are listening to around the home or garden. It seems you just call RNIB Customer Services and give them your postcode or account number to be eligible for one as long as they are still available.
