Hi I am trying to change the firmware on my plextalk pocket, I cannot seem to change the uk firmware to the us version, I cannot tolerate the uk tts voices, they are very hard to listen to when I read a book, I have unzipped the files from the plextalk web page but I am just getting two folders, no exe file, what am I doing wrong, is it possible my antivirus is stopping or killing the exe file? I cannot see such a message, I have tried two different sd cards, I have the pocket plugged in to the electric. Regards Adrien

A Streaming Url of Insight Radio, that now works?
by Flor Lynch 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

has anybody got an URL on Plextalk streaming Insight Radio that works now, or could they check now, if it still works on the Plextalk? Even on the radiofeeds.co.uk Web site - a very good stations repository, BTW - all they had was a stream of Insight Radio's Freeview satellite stream playing in Winamp, which was not amenable to the Save Target As file treatment. And the www.insightradio.co.uk site itself, has a pop-up player and that's it. No copying/transferring. Would that we mighyt return to NO Flash.

Guys. I don't believe we should be selling products on this list, but if others are happy with it I will allow it. There are other lists for buying and selling items in my opinion. Andrew.

Hi:
by John 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Recently, I decided to update my PTP1. Although the speech engine is greatly improved, Now, when going into "Record" or to set or remove a section, I'm getting these announcements that the unit is preparing for record, ETC. Is there a way to turn this off, as it did not used to exist? My key response is also slower. John
