The Sportstar does not have an accessible display but channel selection is
easy, ten digit buttons along the bottom and there is a detented dial you
can select by counting either way works well.
There is also a remote control which has push buttons like a phone pad as
well as a up/down and a pause resume and some other functions I never used.
Cheers.

Good morning,
I have had Serius for years and there is no receiver available at this
time that is fully accessible and useable. The closest receiver that
works for us that are blind is the Stiletto 2. this receiver once you
have it needs to be set up by someone sighted. Once set up you will have
to remember how to move through the menus via just "clicks". However
once you are in the menu for stations each station, or if you will, the
majority of stations, are announced by name or by station number.
Your only other option that can be fully accessible and useable is going
through your computer, smart phone, or I devices.
If there is new informaion where a receiver is actually fully accessible
and useable I would like to hear of it as well.

I recently signed on for Sirius XM radio.
The only drawback with it is the fact that some of it's extra features,
(wake up timer, sleep timer, and so forth), are visual as to
presentation and management.
Is there a "talking" display? I recall hearing that there was, but don't
know who offers it.
