I tried it, and it is usable depending on how much patients you have, and if
you are willing to try different methods. Watch now wasn’t accessible,
adding favorites wasn’t accessible, but if you go in to watch now, there is
a list of channels from left to right. Now, the channels weren’t read by
voiceover, but I went threw the channels with my sited children, and wrote
down the ones I wanted to remember in a note on my iPhone. After going
threw them a few times, I remember what each one was. So, if I wanted to
watch TBS, I knew it was 14 of 67, if I wanted to watch oxygen, I knew it
was 34 of 67, and if I wanted to watch USA, I knew it was 18 of 67. a
little getting use to, but that method worked for me. I am only using it
until direct TV now launches its service next week, once it does, I am gone!
They will be offering more channels for less. HTH

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.

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
