[Electronics-talk] ReTVs without a screen

[Gerald Levy]

It turns out that there is a radio on the market after all that is designed 
to receive DTV   broadcasts.  Here are the details:

Oehm Electronics offers DTV Radio
The demise of radio tuners that can receive TV broadcasts has resulted in 
the introduction of a specialty product to address the interest in an 
audio-only
HD TV receiver, the DTV Radio.

The device is sold directly by Oehm Electronics. The shipping package 
includes a braille manual, the DTV unit, and its power cable. In addition to 
the braille
documentation, an electronic version of the manual is e-mailed immediately 
when the order is placed.

The DTV Radio is not based on an FM tuner; it's an HD TV without a screen. 
This is revealed by the permanently mounted remote control attached to the 
right-hand
face of the DTV cabinet, the approximate dimensions of which are 14 by 12 by 
3 inches.

Because the unit is a conventional digital TV tuner, speech output isn't 
part of the interface. Instead, sequences of button presses on the control 
panel
perform specific functions. To assist with this process, a braille diagram 
of the controls is included.

If the intent of the DTV Radio is to provide a custom product to a select 
group of individuals who desire complete and accessible documentation for a 
television
receiver that can be operated in a convenient and predictable manner, the 
DTV Radio succeeds in meeting this goal.

The DTV Radio costs $175 plus shipping and is available from Oehm 
Electronics, (408) 971-6250, or
