Greetings:

I am contemplating selling my Pac mate omni, BX 20 cell.  Is in excellent condition, but no longer have a use for it.  Will come with charger, Ambicom 1100 Wi-fi card, mini and long USB cables, and carrying case.  You may contact me at jtj1 at cableone.net

Thank you.

I have had an on-going battle with Dish Network about DVS. I still use an analog TV, and used to get DVS. After the nation went digital my analog service no longer carries it. Phoning their help line is frustrating. Most of the technicians who answer the phone do not know what DVS is, and after researching it for a while, they say that they do not receive it from the networks. If they were to receive it, they claim they would send it out. I phoned WGBH in Boston, which originates most DVS, and they claim they do send it out.

Perhaps it only goes out on the digital or high definition services? Does anyone with a modern TV who uses Dish Network get DVS? Or do they also fail to get it.

Our old TV works fine and we would rather not buy a new one, but if it would bring back DVS I might bite the bullet and go for it.

Hello again,

One thing I failed to mention and should have, is, if anyone has a Braille Lite M20, also in excellent condition as the Pac mate, am willing to make an across-the-board trade.  The reason is that I prefer the Braille Lite, even though it is older technology and limited.  It is totally a preference issue.

Thanks.

Judy
