hello there henry how you doing yes to me at first i thought all this a bit of
a gimmick but, after playing around for a while with it i must hold my hands up
and say for a totally blind person it certainly has it's uses.
i would love for it to be of more use with things like access to touch screen
washing machines or cookers that we all cannot manage so well. for my trains
and buses it's a real help when i need it. the music is very very good indeed
though i am an amazon prime music user. and yes the portabillity of the speaker
does help. i do notice though if pat uses it for music say downstairs i cannot
go upstairs and use my alexa service for music from say my amazon fire tv
stick. but you cannot have everything and i do not want to pay for the family
option where this can be done at a price though. it's all good fun though and
again who knows for us what the future could be with it.

Hi John
I agree with you about the GGMM E5 it's a very good speaker. The advantage
with this speaker over the Echo is that it is portable.
Best wishes
Henry

hi well i have just acquired the ggmm e 5 alexa speaker.
i must say for ease of use playing radio stations is very very good indeed.
and adrien's difficulty is the antenna. how ever good your radio is the
radio must have a good antenna which has a good view of the sky and of
course this is not possible.
the echo would play radio stations though for any football listening of
course it's internet radio but for me i am amazed to the amount of stations
one can play on the echo very very fast as well though i do have plusnet
very fast internet.

one to sell shortly.
Yes, I'd go along with the Echo suggestion, Adrian, and I just may havef
option is either to claim that that the lack of adjustment is unreasonable

I sympathise but if your landlord is being difficult I think your only
given your visual impairment and higher than usual use of radio frequencies
but more easily perhaps use internet radio whilst in your flat and retain
your portable DAB and FM devices for outdoor use.
Using a Internet service you can use a variety of devices. My ownrecommendation is that you consider the Victor Reader Stream as a portable
personal radio replacement, alongside possibly using an iPhone or Andoroid
phone, and for ease of use the Echo Devices are a very easy way to get
Internet Radio for non personal/portable listening .
The Wireless for the Blind Internet radio which name eludes me at themoment--Sonatra? Is also enjoyed by my sister.
There are other solutions including playing radio through various Freeviewand Internet Boxes like Apple TV and Amazon Fire Stick on your TV so there
aare lots of options via internet really.
I would in your situation also invest in not the slowest internetbroadband but a higher speed service.

Subject: [access-uk] dab signals
Can someone please help me? I live in a ground floor flat, it is supported
living. I have a problem picking up either fm or dab signals clearly. My
landlord won't allow me to put up an outdoor aerial, the signals are
patchy in my flat. There is a very high stone wall opposite my flat, partof
the old hospital that was on this site originally. What can I do toimprove
dab or fm signals in here? My stereo has a wire aerial and I have to haveget
both radios in my Livingroom and bedroom near a window otherwise I don't
a signal at all. Is there any way to boost the signal on both fm and dab?I
am also next door to the laundry in the building. There is a lot of steelroom
girders in the building a big part of the problem I think. In my living
I have a socket on the wall for the satellite tv to connect to the dish onwhat
the roof, there is also a connection for radio but I am not quite sure
this is for. It also has a phone socket built in. Any ideas please guys?
