Hi Jackie,
Have you fed your Dot through a hifi system yet? Any matching problems?
Best wishes,
Mike

Hi Tony
I returned my Echo because I hated the app, it drove me bananas to
start with. But I decided to purchase the Dot, one because it is £100
cheaper, and two because it has an audio connection that lets you put
it through a hifi system or something.
So it arrived this morning, and I've had a lot more fun with it this
time round. I set up the Dot with the Alexa app to start with, then
went to alexa.amazon.co.uk
This is much easier, as you can add Skills and search for them much quicker.
I found the app very stuttery, and wasn't always able to double-tap on
icons to move about properly.
I like the size of the Dot, which I will use as an alarm clock. This
means I don't need to have my iPhone in the room overnight. I
couldn't say for definite whether you could set up the Dot or Echo on
the above website without a Smartphone, but I would think it is possible.
Both the Echo and Dot are mains only powered.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi folk,
Thanks for the interesting and sometimes even amusing LOL posts here
recently.
I don't have a smart phone but only a laptop and a netbook so I wonder
are the Echo and Dot usable with them?
I wonder also as I have mobile broadband does the Echo/Dot work
anywhere as long as I have my wi Fi enabledor say if out and about using
other Wi FI?
Finally do I need to download Alexa or is it there by default and
using the Echo or Dot have I then accessx to internet radio?
Best,
Tony Sweeney.?
