Was You View the new name for Project Canvas? If so, it's going to be very accessible by all accounts. That was one of the things the BBC insisted on when developing the system.

It's Freeview free to air broadcasts that you're used to, plus a WiFi connection so you can access the last 7 days of lots of TV channels including BBC and Channel 4. Freeview won't die. YouView, whose launch has been put back to next year now, will be an additional service. I'm led to believe it will be more accessible. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 18 March 2011 11:16 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Tune In Radio app for iPhone and iPod Touch Thanks for your words of wisdom G, I had figured out all those options long ago, and had really settled on the Tune In radio app until my dreams were shattered the other night, and an American told me I needed to find an alternative stream if I wanted to hear the game. It's really not important in the grand scheme of things, but it is a sort of soap-box I've got these days about sport and greed in general. Why should we have to purchase everything to cover all eventualities me wonders? But is it true that Freeview is going down the tubes, and being replaced with something else? With that in mind, and the way our "dear" government doesn't know its arse from its elbow, I'm not buying anything else digital until we know it's going to last more than a couple of years, is accessible, and won't cost the earth for the privilege. See, told you I have a soap-box about it, just don't get me started so I can really rant!! (lol).

Bog standard freeview boxes are not too expensive and if you know the channel numbers for the radio stations you can enter them direct on a remote - you still need to buy a cheapo telly though. If you have a sky dish with a twin lmb you could get a freesat box which means you can listen to the radio feeds on the second box via a cheapo telly. All these solutions require spending money but I think that apart from the freesat option they will be less expensive than buyin a specialist box for the blind, you know the one I mean available from a well known organisation in Kings cross.

Hi Phil Well I have a couple of radio apps recommended to download and try when I get time, but I'm not holding my breath any more on this streaming rights fiasco. We get a terrible DAB signal here, medium-wave is crap, and that just leaves the Sky box to be sure of getting either Five Live or Sports Extra without the streaming rights
issue, but it means that if someone else wants the TV on, you are taking
it away from them just for a radio station.
Tune In does the job and, when it doesn't I'll use Talk Sport or something else I can see if I can fish out. The Sonata is great until
the rights thing kicks in. I can only think of putting this as politely as the moderator would allow, and that is that the Premier League and all its associates are a load of greedy b****rds.
