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.

The Freeview upgrade is called YouView. 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.

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).

Hi

three suggestions that cost money sadly:
On your sky box you could take out a multi room option
and listen to the radio in another room or on headphones
on a portable t.v., so you need to upgrade sky subscription and purchase a cheapo 
portable telly.
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.

Cheers

G

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.
