  Hi Jane,
  It's possible that you could get this somewhere else but I wouldn't know 
where. Aldi have the reputation of having the lowest prices for such items. 
Unfortunately Aldi only keep there "special" items for short periods and you 
have to get there quickly to grab hold of them.
  The Micro Receiver was advertised last Thursday and they change their stock 
every Thursday and Sunday.
  It is still possible your local Aldi has them in stock but you will have to 
go and see for yourself.
  Sorry not to be of more help.

  Regards, Ian.

  Dear Ian,
  Do you know if this receiver will be available elsewhere? it does sound just 
what i am looking for, as i have a freeview box set, without the audio 
description, this would enhance my viewing if i had it. any thoughts 
appreciated.

    Hi Clive,
    Thanks for the heads-up on this survey. I've just completed it and found it 
pretty painless. The more we can publicise our use of Audio Description the 
better.

    As an aside, I have just purchase a new (well new to me anyway) micro 
Freeview receiver which purports to support Audio Description.
    It cost £34.99 from Aldi and measures 70mm (W) × 27mm (H) × 54mm (D), and 
is very light.
    You can see more details at:
    http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/58_5420.htm



    Haven't had time to try it yet but this is a lot cheaper and smaller than 
the old Netgem i-player. I thought I would buy it so that I can take it with me 
when I visit friends and family who don't have an Audio Description facility.

    Even in its packaging with its power pack and cables etc it is small enough 
to put in a shoulder bag or slipped in the corner of a suitcase.



    Hope this is of use to someone else.



    I'll let you know how I get on with it in a few days when I get time to set 
it up.



    Kind regards, Ian.

    Hi Tiddy,

    um...you don't need it.  It's a telephone survey on the freefone number 
listed in the original email.  That's:
    0800 279 8779.

    Best,
    Clive

      Hi folks,



      sorry about the short notice, but I only found out about this from a 
different list about an hour ago, and have just completed the survey.  If you 
have a visual impairment and an interest in audio description services on TV, 
this could be for you.  The survey only runs until close of business tomorrow, 
so get in quick if you want your views to be counted.  Each time anyone takes 
part in the survey, RNIB receives a £20 donation.  Each participant receives a 
£10 gift voucher.  BCAB members not interested in the gift voucher could always 
flog it and donate to BCAB EyeT4All (smile)



      Best,

      Clive
