Victoria,
Let me tell some details you and those who are curious about this topic: as
equipment, we need one or more than one dishes as you like on the roof
correctly installed by the satellite man directed to the correct satellite
you wanna receive the broadcasts from. as second, we need a digital tv card
which is able to receive dvb; digital video broadcasting. as software to
watch, there are many options like DVB Viewer, ProgDvb, DvbDream and etc. I
use ProgDvb, because it is almost fully compatible with Jaws for windows,
though it is not the best among the viewers listed above. What can you do
with this software and with the equipment i listed before? you can watch
through your pc, you can turn your pc into a tv, you can navigate among the
satelites if more than one with route Jaws to pc thanks to the clean
interface of the software. It is very quick, so dont worry about the speed
of navigation. after choosing the sat you will watch, all the wrest is done
through normal pc cursor. The greatest challenge is the ability to use
remote control, yet remote control itself is not that usable for visually
impaired tv users. If you got a wireless keyboard, you will use your digital
tv card with remote control speed already, so dont worry about it. you can
volume up and down by assigning keystrokes within the programme, you can
mute or unmute, record your favourite show, with one keystroke, you can
switch among the diffrent languages that tv channels offer, such as
choosing the serial "Lost" in its original language or in the dubbed
language if available. Since there is a huge community on internet using
digital tv cards, tv channels periodically gets updated, so you do not need
to be worried to lose your channels if their transponders change. After you
complete the physical conditions/equipments, I am here willing to help you
on the software part, this could be either through Skype sessions, or
through another way. But i can tell you that there is much to discover and
taste here. I have cable tv at home, yet i just use it for internet, for tv
i use digital tv card.

Hello folks,
Why do you not switch to satelite broadcast rather than cable with a
digital tv card and a dish on the roof? I currently use digital tv card
and receive the broadcasts from three sats through a very accessible
software with Jaws for windows. I think of preparing a podcast regarding
this topic actually.

Yes, I finally got the chance too read it. I have been trying for
years, fighting with our cable company to provide us with the ability to
be able too access those dammed on screen menus, but have had no
success. I hope that this technology will finally open a door that has
been closed too us. If their's a way too do it, I think that we should
all send them an email thanking them for trying to develop this
project, and send them stories of our frustration in trying too get the
cable industry in particular, too listen too our concerns especially
when you consider the fact that we who are blind, and listen too movies
and other events, pay a monthly subscription service and don't have the
same rightsthat people with vision have.

Hi Albert, Were you able to read this fantastic article? I sure hope
we'll be able to get it and that it will work with JAWS!
The article says that RNIB will be carrying Ocean Blue's Software. I
went to RNIB's web page and I couldn't find how to request more info on
this product. If anyone can figure that out, would you let us know?
If this is not yet proper for this list, you can write me offline at:

Many thanks for sharing this exciting information! Vicky

from the
title of the article, and have had no success in locating it. I've
even
tried going through the webpage using the h key too go through by
headings.
What am i doing wrong here. I'm going to paste all of the
rellavantinformation below, so that others on this list can examine it
for themselves. http://bit.ly/3O0fIJ
