Hi, Really a very good news. Whoever heard of a set top box running on android OS? This is indeed a nice news for many visually impaired out there. This opens a new possibility of accessibility of televisions. Whichever televisions we might be having at home, that is, advanced one with HDMI port, connecting this set top box would be a good option. Thanks for sharing this, helps a lot. Thank you.
