Hi mama peach, I totally agree with you really. It wasn't that I was not trying to listen to what other people had to say. I guess I was just hopeful. I'm missing not having some certain cable channels, so I just really wanted something to work. Luckily, I really did not cause myself any stress. I was disappointed it didn't work. But nothing more than that. Plus, I didn't spend any money. So that made a huge difference. Now if I had spent money and it hadn't listened to what others had said, I would've really been upset with myself
But I just took the free trial, and I gave it a shot. It didn't work. So now I have to decide what I want to do. I don't mind not having cable. I really don't. If I could find a way to watch some stuff that I really would like to watch in other ways, I just do that. I don't mind helping antenna TV type stuff. Well over the air. I already canceled my free trial. So all is good. Thank you for your advice though, and your thoughts. I appreciate them as always.

I was interested in Sling TV until I heard several people say not to waste my time. -----Original Message----- From: Terri Stimmel Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2016 7:45 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Sling tv 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 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
