Hi all. I hope this isn't off topic, but earlier, I received some information on this list about Panasonic's liaison for accessibility, Robert Wenner! But as of April 1, another person has taken over this role. I'm forwarding a message that he sent to me, regarding DVD recorders and DVR's, and accessibility! Gary,
I took over Panasonic's Accessibility Program from Robert Wegner effective April 1, 2006. Regarding your inquiry Panasonic does not offer Tivo. Panasonic does offer DVD recorders with "TV Guide" Electronic Program Guides (EPG) for ease of programming similar to Tivo, but, without the monthly Tivo fee. Panasonic also offers DVD recorders with or without hard drives. Cable DVRs can not be connected to a Panasonic DVD recorder. All Panasonic DVD recorders allow simultaneous record and play, however, you can only record one program at a time, since only one TV tuner is included. I hope I have answered all of your questions? If not please advise?

I haven't contacted you in a while. I'm glad that Panasonic is dedicated toward making things accessible for blind people. A friend of mine has a competitor's DVD recorder with a built-in harddrive. I believe it's a Humax, out of Korea. It has the Tevo system built into it. It sounds like that might be a good system, but I'm wondering if Panasonic has something like this built into their DVD/DVR recorders. It sounds like a neat way for folks to program their shows they want to record on their DVR, and copy things to DVD! I know that some cable providers like Comcast have a DVR built into their cable boxes, and I'm wondering if something like that could be accessed with your product. I think that for some, they're able to program their Tevo's through their computers. That would be great for a blind person who uses a screenreader, if their screenreaders can read the messages that are necessary to go to an edit field where they can program the shows they want to watch. With your Panasonic DVD/DVR recorders, can a person record more than one show at a time? This is something I'm asking about, just out of curiosity. Thanks for your replies in the past, and hope to hear from you again soon! _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
