Hi
three suggestions that cost money sadly:
On your sky box you could take out a multi room option and listen to the radio
in another room or on headphones on a portable t.v., so you need to upgrade sky
subscription and purchase a cheapo portable telly.
Bog standard freeview boxes are not too expensive and if you know the channel
numbers for the radio stations you can enter them direct on a remote - you
still need to buy a cheapo telly though.
If you have a sky dish with a twin lmb you could get a freesat box which means
you can listen to the radio feeds on the second box via a cheapo telly.
All these solutions require spending money but I think that apart from the
freesat option they will be less expensive than buyin a specialist box for the
blind, you know the one I mean available from a well known organisation in
Kings cross.
Cheers
