RE: I want to get apple tv and wonder what's needed to make it accessible and other info you can give
Larry, If the Apple TV is hooked up to the TV via the HDMI cable and the TV has an analogue audio output then this will work fine. I assume Rob is using the headphone jack of the TV which he connects to a set of powered speakers. This will mute the TV at the same time.

RE: I want to get apple tv and wonder what's needed to make it accessible and other info you can give
Hi Rob, You actually have to press and hold that button for a moment and it will not directly toggle Voiceover on the Apple TV, but it will bring up a menu and the first item is Voiceover. So, if you push and hold for a moment then the menu comes up and if /Voiceover is on the option is to turn Voiceover off and you just press Enter. Now when Voiceover is off and you don’t have feedback you can still do this by repeating the same thing, push and hold for 2 seconds or so, then make sure you don’t move the cursor and just press enter.

Hi. You will absolutely need a digital tv with a resolution of at least 720p and more if possible. The tv must ahave an aHDMI output port. If you want to hear audio athrough a sound asystem, your receiver or other equipment must have a tos-link (fiber-optic) input port or you will need an analog to optical adaptor of asome sort.
