Wow! In my area, my TV is hooked straight to the cable splitter, and my SAP
button does nothing on channels I know DirecTV passes description on at my
parents' place, namely the five required, ABC, Fox, and possibly PBS. My TV
might do the QAM stuff if not encrypted, which is digital, and that could be
why I'm not getting it. I wonder if you can use a Tivo with an antenna as well?
There are several Fox shows that the AFB site says are aired with description
that happen to be shows I like, but I can't do satellite in this apartment
being on the 8th floor.

I had audio description with analog, but when they told me I needed the
boxes, I lost it. When I asked the tech if there was any way to get it, he said
I would need an antenna.

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to take a look. I might put it on the
credit card and pay over time because I want something more usable than the
Time Warner box I don't want to get. I heard dealing with cable cards can be an
adventure though, but maybe it can get me some audio description that analog
can't, despite TWC telling me it is supposed to exist on analog.

I know TiVo comes up from time to time as an accessible DVR option. I've
written a fairly detailed review of it from the perspective of a blind user
using the iOS app which can be found at
http://www.blindtech.net/?p=33
The short summary is setup is not accessible but if you have the disposable
income and an iOS device the TiVo is worth buying if you want an accessible DVR
solution.

I'm not wearing a diaper, so don't try to change me.
