To be honest I have not listened to them. I talked to a few people on this list a couple of years ago and per there suggestions I went off and bought a usb tv tuner, hooked it up to my incomming cable, and had a sighted friend help me with setup. It worked so unbelievably well. Now that I am living in California we have at&t u-verse so I cannot use my media center and I'm forced to memorize menus and such with the stupid cable box. I feel I should only have to pay a small percentage of this damn bill because I can't access more than half of the features. Anyway sorry for the rant. I guess the answer is no, but I really hate one word or one line answers. bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over http://brettboyer.voices.com Brett Boyer's Big Bag of Goodies!
