Hi Luis,
Was very impressed with your mail on this internet radio.
Have you managed to set stations on this radio using the internet and a screen
reader?
I'm happy enough with the internet radio I am using, but I would love to be
able to preset the stations myself.
Brian.

Hello,
There is an Internet Radio receiver called Roku, Sound Bridge Radio, which
is great. It has 18 presets that you can activate with the push of a button
for each one. Although the display is not accessible via the remote
control, the Roku has a web interface that you can access using your pc.
This interface allows you to program the stations that you wish to listen on
the Roku. However, you don't need to have your computer turned on to listen
to the Roku in view of the fact that this is connected via wi fi. The Roku
has a radio guide that you can access from your pc at www.rokuradio.com and
which allows to browse the 6000 or more stations that you can listen on the
web and then transfer the once you like to the roku presets. The quality of
the sound is outstanding, particuarly for the 128 KB stations.
Obviously,i wish the Roku would come with speech menus but it doesn't.
However, it is one of my favorit toys and I highly recommend it.
You can get more info at www.rokulabs.com. By the waythey have different
models, but the one I use is called Sound Bridge Radio. It also allows you
to play A M and FM stations if you wish.
Regards,
Luis
