[AI] Tata Sky Binge+ Android set top box accessibility
Dear all, Just tried the new Tata Sky Android set top box. From Settings > device preferences, Talkback could be started easily with Google TTS. The thing which concerns us most is accessibility while viewing TV channels. Here when channels are changed, at times Talkback reads the prompt on the screen but mostly it remains silent. The desired info can be got by pressing the Information button on the remote. Also, on pressing the back button and then the select button Talkback can be forced to read the prompt which has the current channel number, name and program name. The guide button brings up the list of channels with programs at different timeslots arranged in a table. With Talkback one can navigate and read the various cells. However, table headers are not announced at will and hence its utility is decreased. As in most Android devices, the Google Assistant can be asked to do tasks such as change to a particular channel by speaking its number or name. It has play store from which more apps can be installed. YouTube is preinstalled and works with Talkback. The company says Netflix will not work. The installed apps HotStar, Prime Video does not work with Talkback. Sun NXT app which has South Indian content is usable with Talkback. All these accessibility glitches and features are dependent upon the software updates and hence in future accessibility could improve or further break down. Overall, it is a big step ahead, we now at least have some accessibility in set top boxes, both Airtel and Tata Sky tested. Although a little care for accessibility from these companies would have made life more easier. My concluding advice is, if you don't want to change your television but want more accessible television viewing experience, then buy this set top box.
