Billy, bet you a pound to a penny it isn't mate. Last time I saw a Roberts WiFi radio, it had one knob on it, and you did just about everything with it. What you have to remember is that you need to put your modem key into the radio in order to connect it to your broadband, and if you can't do that without sight, there's your first problem. Once you get past that bit, you've got the job of tuning into stations and knowing where the hell you are in an environment of over 6,000 stations. It perhaps sounds easy, but it isn't. Having said that, if anyone is using a commercial WiFi radio and can get round it, or even set it up completely without sighted assistance, I'd love to hear your experience.

Jackie,Roberts are selling one at the moment. I think it is also a DAB, FM, WIFI radio. I don't anything about this particular model, but with the radio been sold by Roberts. It would maybe be accessible to visually impaired people, Billy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 8:57 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: WIFI Radio.Hi Billy If you mean an Internet radio, then the nearest I believe is beingsoldby Wireless For The Blind these days, but I don't know much about it.Ithink they have a stringent criteria for getting one free of charge,andI don't know if it's the same as the radio TNAUK were branding sometimeago. As for commercial Internet radios, they are impossible to navigate really with no sight.
