When blind people tell others that something is not accessible, they provide
this kind of information so others will know and not go through the struggle
and stress themselves. I tend to hede warnings from others when they say
something does not work with VoiceOver on any device. I was interested in
Sling TV until I heard several people say not to waste my time.

Hello everyone,
I have heard that Sling tv is not accessible. I have heard this more
than once. But I was curious to try it out, because they offer a 7 day
trial.
I had a little bit of a problem getting my account set up on the
website, so I called the phone number. The man I talked to was nice, but
he really did seem rather shocked, when I told him I was totally blind.
I informed him that I tried to sign up on the site, but that it wouldn't
let me submit my information. He told me that this can happen, because
their site gets over-loaded right now, with people trying to sign up. He
said for some reason, it had accepted my password. That was interesting!
So I got all set up, and I went and installed Sling on my Apple tv. I
was hoping it would work, though I had my doubts.
It doesn't work!
I could easily sign in. But once I was signed in, I didn't get any sort
of feedback. So I touched the gesture area, and that got a response.
Sadly, I could see the menu. But anything I tried to enter on, would not
come up.
I really think, and feel that if they would just put some effert in to
this product, it wouldn't be too difficult to make it more accessible. I
mean, I know nothing about making a product accessible. But you can read
the menu.
So how hard can it be?
I decided to install the App for my computer. That experience was worse
than my Apple tv. When I open the program, it's as though there is
nothing there at all. There isn't even a way to sign in.
I just thought I would share my thoughts, and experiences with you all.
Even if many of you already knew all this.
Thank you,
Terri
