Hi Jim;
Apologies for the delay but whenever someone was over got 
involved with grand children and forgot to ask about the satolite 
internet radio.  My son insists its made by serious and the model 
number is ttr1 .  Don't think I could have set up the internet 
connection between the radio and my router on my own.  Once that 
was done there are ten presets that are easy enough to set.  The 
remote can be set so that you can enter a channel number from the 
keypad on the remote.  The numbers aren't arranged like a 
telephone keypad and there are a few buttons that I still have no 
idea about.  Its very usable but remember that although serious 
will come through the internet just fine they exclude some 
channels from the web.  I don't think baseball is on the web 
service.  Also there is a loop that basically tells you what is 
on what channel that isn't on the web service.  A girl in new 
england publishes a braille serious radio channel list.  If you 
could go see the thing somewhere that would be ideal.  I know I'm 
not much for speed but I'll get you the model for the radio 
version that a friend is totally addicted to.  When someone can 
almost recite the channel line up you know they've been listening 
to long.  richard

Richard,
I'm still on the search for a blind-friendly tabletop internet 
radio.  Did
you ever find out what brand/model you have?

Many thanks,
Jim

Hi;
the initial set up is often the problem.  I am using an internet 
radio for
serious which works fine once set up.  You can select the channel 
via remote
and put it in a preset on your own.  The harder part is inputting 
a user
name and password.  Unfortunately off the top of my head don't 
have the
brand name but will get it for you when someone stops over.  A 
friend has
serious via the satolite and works great.  Next time we talk I 
will get the
brand name.  Tim is totally addicted to the thing.  When someone 
has the
channel numbers memorized you suspect they have listened to much.  
If you
should be on echolink connect to wb2 kao and just call for wb2 
kao and Tim
will happily tell you all about his serious radio.  Let me know 
if you and
Tim happen to get together.  He's generally available in the 
morning and
early afternoon.

Maybe OT but hey, it's still radio.  I'm looking for anyone's
recommendations on two products:



1.  What do you recommend as a highly accessible home tabletop
Cereous
satellite radio that connects via internet, not via antenna?



2.  What do you recommend as a  highly accessible home tabletop
internet
radio?
