Just to add that Ian would have to enable the Guardian skill if he wanted
Guardian news more thoroughly.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] MORE DOT QUESTIONS
Thanks to all for previously helpful tips. Here are some more questions.
1. I have checked a number of options in the flash briefings list in the app
on my phone including Sky News, Radio 4 World Service and The guardian. When I
ask Alexa for the news she automatically plays Sky News. How do I get her to
play latest news from Radio 4? When I’ve asked she’s played the r4 live stream
from tune-in. Sky News seems to be the default briefing, followed by any of
the others you have ticked.
2. If I want news from the guardian how do i get her to give me that? Say:
"Alexa, open the Guardian." You will get a welcome message, then follow the
choices she offers you.
3. Are any of these services chargeable? for instance I notice that this full
audio of The Economist but I assume you need a subscription? Similarly the
Wall Street Journal is, I know, subject to a pay wall. The Guardian isn't
subscription-based, not sure about any of the other newspapers.
4. How do I add things like the iPlayer or iPlayer Radio app? You can go into
Skills and add those that way, or ask her to activate the various skills for
you. Say: "Alexa, activate RadioPlayer." Similarly, you can ask her to turn
on Bluetooth so you can pair it with your phone.
thanks again for any help.
