[access-uk] Re: who got a Sky Talker?

Hi Damon,

I use the Sky Talker every day and it has 2 minor benefits.
1.  I find it useful having the programme name announced as soon as a recording 
starts to play.  Previously, I would sometimes have to fast forward through a 
few minutes of adverts to be sure I was playing the right programme.  That can 
make navigating the planner less frustrating.
2.  With a recorded film, it is sometimes a couple of weeks before I get around 
to watching it.  Being able to here the programme info is useful to remind me 
what the film is about.

I rarely watch anything on Sky as it is broadcast, so having the current 
programme and channel announced doesn’t really make any difference to me.

For the small benefit the Sky Talker offers, it is hard to justify the price.  
On the other hand, I don’t regret buying the box, just wish it could do so much 
more.

Incidentally, I recently received a form from Sky allowing me to claim back the 
VAT so should be getting around £10 credited to my next Sky statement.

Cheers.

Ian

Two months down the road I'm interested to know who got a Sky Talker and if 
they use it often and find it useful. 

It was talked down quite a bit because potential users were upset that it was 
feature poor, but has it made a difference to the way you use Sky? 

IT'd be really good to hear from you.
