Greetings,
I have a few accessibility questions with regard to the Sling Box. As many
of you may know the Sling Box is a device that connects to one's cable box,
allowing a person to view television broadcasts over the internet. While
conducting research on this device I've noticed that there are three versions
of the product. Ranging in price from lowest to highest are first, the baseline
model, the Sling Box A.V, (Audio Video) and the Sling Box Pro. The baseline
model only works with analog cable boxes. The Sling Box AV and pro models
however, work with both analog and digital cable boxes. Considering I have
digital cable, my question is directed toward these two Sling Box Models.
Simply put, does anyone know if either of these two models have an
interface that is screen reader accessible? Screen shots of the software
interface show a graphic of a television remote control. Indications are that
television channels are changed by pointing and clicking the graphical buttons
on this remote. Clearly a graphical interface of this type, doesn't appear to
bode well for folks such as myself who use JAWS.
If anyone knows if the Sling Box A.V or Pro models allow you to change
channels with the keyboard I would appreciate your input. Furthermore, if
anyone is aware of additional accessibility issues between JAWS and these Sling
Box models, I welcome your comments. Feel free to contact me either on or off
list.
Thanks,
Jay Rufo
