Yes, I do plan to try that. Haven’t had time as of yet. But I do have the Home working just fine. Although it is not yet released in the UK and people told me it wouldn’t be compatible with the European network standards, with a little tinkering I got it to work. I’m very impressed, although naturally I would have preferred a UK model with a British voice.
The US model won’t stream UK news, it’s all American. But it does pick up the local weather, local businesses and other data which apply to the UK. I’m not sure what will happen when they release it in the UK. I wonder if I’ll be able to just blast its firmware or something. If so, great! If not, well that’s the chance I took. ======================================== My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist.
