[JAWS-Users] Direct Tv website and selecting program on grid.
Hi I use to be able to go to direct TV website and select a program to record on my DVR . now I go to the program I want and it says clickable but I can't figure how to select it, space bar and enter does not work. tried application menu with no luck. PC cursor does not help either any Ideas? Regards Scott For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Direct Tv website and selecting program on grid.
Hi Scott, I would try routing JAWS to pc and then using the JAWS left mouse click. There are some websites that are using some type of programming that this is the only way to activate the buttons. You may have to use the JAWS key with left arrow and right arrow to find the place you want to click. I am guessing you will be able to conquer the cyber giant using this technique.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS and the Desktop
Lately, I have had a problem with JAWS not wanting to read my desktop when I press Windows key and M. I don't know if this is a JAWS problem or a computer problem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Direct Tv website and selecting program on grid.
Are you sure that pressing Space or Enter on the Show title does nothing? In my experience with the site, I have found that the show details and the recording option appear after all of the shows displayed for that channel. I also find that when activating these 'links' that the ffocus will bounce around, usually slightly higher on the page. After reviewing the show details, there will be 'link' to record. Again activating will change focus. The recording options, DVR choice (if more than one), and priority will be below the details. I have avoided using the main DirecTV TV guide pages ever since they removed the capability to customize the channel line up. Browsing through thousands of channels that I am not interested in is not my idea of efficient! I prefer to use a separate on line TV Guide, TitanTV.com. It is very customizable! It uses a true HTML tavle for the grid and allows viewing 6 hours at a time. To schedule recordings, I use the DirecTV mobile website, m.directv.com. It is very simple and uncluttered. Even though it is designed for mobile phones, it works very well on a PC as well. I have two R22 DVRs in our house. I have written a Word document describing the remote and it's functions. I have also written JAWS scripts to aid in the viewing the TV Guide and the recording processes. Basically, they make moving around the grid easier and will launch the mobile DVR Scheduler website, log in, and search for the show you were looking at in the grid with a single key combination. For more information and to download the Word document or scripts, go to: http://mysite.verizon.net/marangs/DirecTV.html There are some scripts for the DirecTV2PC application also in this package. These are not very useful at this time. The DirecTV2PC application is still in beta, but does not work very well for blind users. The application runs on a PC in your home and allows you to view the list of recorded shows and watch on your PC. Unfortunately, the My Playlist is designed to look and feel just like the on screen version on your TV. It is just as inaccessible! The original beta software allowed watching the show/movie. Again, CyberLink, who wrote this software for DirecTV, dealt a blow to the blind and visually impaired community. Later versions of the software improved security from pirates stealing movies. Even if JAWS is installed on your computer, the software blocks you from watching. It thinks there are no reasons anybody would have a shadow display driver unless you are attempting to steal the movie! The DirecTV2PC software is slightly useful for me, since I still have some vision in my right eye. JAWS can not read the list of recorded shows, but magnification still can help and the resolution is much better than a SD TV. If I put my nose against my computer screen, I can barely make out the shows in the list. I then know how many times to press the down arrowon the remote, so I can open folders and start shows with the 'Select' button. I hope to someday improve the accessibility of this DVR even more!

[JAWS-Users] Tinny Jaws on my Laptop
Hi All, I'm not sure if I've asked this before, but forgive my repetitiveness, as I am desperate for a solution. Smile. I have a Toshiba L500 laptop, running Windows 7 64 bit edition and the latest build of Jaws 11. Basically, what happens is that all of the other windows sounds, including any music I play through the speakers are coming out just fine, and, in fact, in wicked surround sound, something I did not expect from such tiny laptop speakers as these. Suffice it to say, while all of the other sounds are coming through just fine, Jaws is coming through all tinny, as though, if I didn't know any better, it were coming from a modem speaker or something like that. I'm sure everyone here remembers those dial-up modem sounds? Well, that's what Jaws sounds like, small and tinny. Does anyone know if this is standard operating behaviour for Jaws on a Windows 7 64 bit system, or is there a setting I've overlooked. I've gone into the properties, and the sounds and all that other stuff, and have fooled around with equalizer settings and the like, but again, it doesn't seem to correct the problem. I have gotten it to perk up, and even base a bit, but again, you still get that distant sound, as though it were in St. Petersburg, Florida where it originated. LOL. Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix this, or even if this is what it's supposed to sound like, please let me know. Thanks for any help y'all can give me.
