Hi Peter, through all of this, can you suggest a solution for me please?

At the moment, I record material from TV and radio using Nebula's DigiTV
system in MP2.  I then put the file on Booksense to listen to it as I can
speed it up.

DigiTV uses the Freeview system and the audio description is broadcast as a
seperate stream, so I have to demux the streams, resynch the AD with the TV
soundtrack and then remix them, usually after trimming the start of the
soundtrack to achieve the synchronisation.

I understand that Freesat does not broadcast the audio description as a
separate channel, so if I could get my recordings in a format that is
playable on Booksense or Milestone, or that can be converted into a playable
format, it would cut out all the faffing about.

I assume that I could get a Freesat box and hook it up to the satelite feed,
but I need to get some means of recording with an accessible EPG, have you
any genius solutions?

All the hopeful best,
Barry G

Hi no the Sky Talker will only work with the Sky digibox and Sky Plus boxes but you can pick up all the free sat channels on them. The Sky Talker won't be bundled with even Sky boxes as it costs £60 on it's own.

It would work out alot cheaper for me to go with the Freesat that the switover scheme are offering. I think it is only £20.

Does that mean that Sky Talker works with the FreeSat that the Switchover scheme are offering? and is it bundled with this FreeSat?

Thanks,

You could get a Sky digibox and dish then you'd be able to use the Sky Talker with it. The freesat that sky offers is similar to the other Freesat system available.

Hi,

I’ve recieved a leaflet from the digital switchover scheme. Frrsat seems to have a lot more channels than standard freeview. I was wondering if the freesat option comes with the Sky Talker or a set top box similar in functionality to the RNIB Smart Talk? Also, do they give an indoor or outdoor dish?

Thanks
