Hi Everyone and a Happy New Year to you all, new Years greetings seem to be thin on the ground so perhaps that's an indication of what sort of year we're going to have? Well not if I can help it <smile>.
Anyway to other matters of far more importance. An online seller with whom I do regular business with today offered me a USB FM/AM/DAB/DAB+/TV Tuner USB stick for $25.00 Australian Dollars including delivery to my door. To me this was an offer I couldn't refuse, even if I can't get the beast working under Window-Eyes which I'm sorry to say will be most likely I'm sure <smile> then at least I can try another approach or at the very worst! it will make a very nice gift for someone who can make use of it. Now I'm going to give Twitter a mention again because its come to my rescue, no sooner did I mention that I'd bought one of these tuner sticks then I received quite a few messages from people who use Screen reading technology who own these devices, it seems that users of JAWS 13 have no trouble using the Tuner Stick whatever thanks to the OCR technology employed, they can see the channels and therefore click on the one they wish to listen to, record etc so that's neat! The software supplied with the Tuner does not I'm told have any keyboard shortcuts which is a shame and seems to be very poorly written however users of Windows 7 can take full advantage of the tuner by using the Windows Media centre. I also heard of others who have used this Tuner under LYNUX quite successfully, it would appear that LYNUX is the best operating environment for this tuner. Anyway I'll keep the list informed of my progress with this device, should have it this time next week. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
