Hi Jason,
There is a review of the Slingbox on the Blind Cool Tech website
www.blindcooltech.com
I haven't heard the review yet, so don't know what version this person
reviewed. Take a listen and hope that the Slingbox will work for you. Take
care and God bless.

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
