Ray, they could have invited two or three of the original trialists onto the programme and had a really constructive debate about where it goes, how to get additional content onto the Orion without the intervention of SoundTalking, and what kind of support one might expect to receive after shelling out £279 or £315 for it? At least I tried to be fair and balanced when I did the review. Another opportunity lost for the visually impaired community to get involved! (smile.)

Iain, apart from not being probing enough, as Paul put it, I fear that In Touch sometimes ers on the side of being a little simplistic and, in this case, seeming to give the impression that there might be people who'd have separate devices for every different format they would want to play. Maybe Jackie should have been invited as a counter balance to the two organisation representatives, but then, as I say, In Touch doesn't seem to look that far in some of its research. That's not meant as a generalisation about the programme, but only that it seems to have been the case here.

In Touch, were not probing enough to ask this very obvious question. tomorrow I will contact wireless for the blind and let them know of the severe limitations of this product.

Confused a little by one thing he said, that someone's web box was seemingly updated over night to get a local station. So, is itpossibleafter all to do this remotely? Or have I mis-heard this. bit of the programme? Seems though that Wireless for the Blind fund is now interested somanymight stand to get it for free, so we're led to understand. I must say though that In Touch and those taking part seem to live in splendid isolation re. comments on this list over the last month orso.You'd think this is "Thee Solution" to hear them talk on theprogramme,but we all know it isn't. It will be all the more interesting to hear what RNIB decides.
