Okay thanks Paul for that report.
As I reside outside of the UK
wonder if anyone on this list knows if I can purchase the Sonata anywhere?
Best,

Hello Tony and all,
The Sonata arrives with 12 stations installed. You can delete as many of
these as you like. You can also add as many as you like. The order in
which the stations appear in your list can be altered as you wish. It is
also possible to move up the list from the last station on the list, by
pressing the, "down", button as you enter the menu for your stations, and
on my list which has 21 stations, I am then on station 21.
The simplest way to alter your list, is to phone the Wireless for the
Blind office, and they will make the changes you require. If you are
computer-confident, you can manage your list yourself, you will have to
arrange for a password to be placed onto the system. If the station you
wish to add to your list is not in the database, then phone the office and
request it to be added to the general database, and at the same time to
your list. This can be done while you are on the phone, and you can test
immediately if the station is added.
From time to time, stations will appear to be on the Sonata list, but will
not play. The most likely cause, is a change to the web site address of
the station. Simply contact the WftB office, and they will find the
changed web site address, and update the general database, and your Sonata
will play it again. Of course, there is also the possibility that the
station has ceased broadcasting.
A very popular and recent addition to the database, is the BBC Live Events
Streams. This presently has 20 streams sitting as a sub-menu under one
title. Broadcasts there include cricket, rugby, live music, and more.
While a live event is being streamed, say a 4 day cricket match, the
stream number will stay the same for the event. Once the event is over,
that channel will be used for another live event. So, if you have a
favourite cricket County, you will have to search all 20 channels to find
which one is used when the next match is streamed.
Paul Benson.

Hi All,
I believe (and missed) that this has been discussed before on the list but
could any of you please let me know in brief your thoughts on internet
radios, the Sonata for example as to how you cope with all the stations
that are available there insofar as you sorting them out in to what you
want to listen to?
I presume that you can book mark your favourites for example.
Looking forward to responses.
Best, Tony Sweeney
