HiSAVI -Surrey Association for VI , have started selling the Net Gem in their resource centre. They told me they were being supported by the RNIB, so perhaps what Adrian suggested has happened.

As I understand it, it isn't the I-player which they have stopped producing but only the AD add-on so I suppose there is always the potential for someone such as maybe the RNIB to take on that component and offer it as an add on.

I was hoping one day to get the IPlayer whenever I can access Freeview. There are software and hardware devices that allows you to watch freeview on your PC, but indeed where does it leave us in terms of accessibility, particularly those who don't own a computer? Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I wander where this leaves access to freeview on the TV?
