In Windows Media Center, you can use the Applications Key on your computer to go into Settings and change TV audio to SAP. Of course, you may get a second language instead of audio description. In WMC, Control+Shift+a is supposed to change audio tracks in the DVD section of the program. I'm not sure if it also works in the TV section.
