In the first of our audio guides, we look at the BT Home Hub - BT's wireless broadband router that works with BT
Total Broadband.
We looked at the BT Home Hub back in Show 09 of our podcast, but this audio guide offers a greater level of help, aimed at users of the Home Hub.
We help with how to set up wi-fi, improve reception, set the clock and forward ports.

| Unofficial Guide to Sony Reader |
In theory, electronic books could do for books what mp3 files did to music. Carry hundreds of books around with you, and save on trees.
In September 2008, Sony released their Sony Reader to the UK, selling online ebooks through Waterstones. Could the Sony Reader be a killer device?
In our audio review, we take a look at the first mainstream electronic book reader and explore whether we think ebooks are a good idea.
