Is there anyone at Dish I can talk to that you know of who's familiar
with accessibility to make sure that I'm getting what I need? A lot of
the different providers I've worked with in the past don't have a clue
about what their stuff does as far as speech. So I would like to get a
knowledgeable rep if you can direct me.

Gordon, the speech would be on all 4 tvs. You'll have the one hopper,
and the other 3 receivers they call joliettes, which I might be
spelling wrong. If you go with dish we recomend the hopper 3 because
it's their most recent receiver. It's been reported that the audio
description does work, though we can't varify it. If you do get xm in
your package we don't know if you would have those big dropouts as I
mentioned before. We should know something about that in the next week.

Ok so I have four tvs that I would want service on. So would I need the
hopper connected to my tv in my room or will the speech be available on
all boxes in the house?

Both the Hopper 2 and 3 have there Text to Speech interface and most
of the normal day to day things are accessible ... it’s when you try
to do some of the setup and more advanced things that it’s not
accessible. But, watching TV ... looking at the guide ... working
with recordings .. they all work pretty good.

If anyone goes with dish network, here's what you need to know. The

It does have accessibility. This receiver doesn't work with audio
description. It is in the receiver, but dish has not been able to
fix it so it will work. If you buy the xm package you'll have lots
of ramdom dropouts of audio lasting any where from 10 to 30 seconds.
They are ramdom, but they will sure mess up your favorite songs. The
next receiver is the 211, it doesn't have accessibility but on the
xm channels you'll get ramdom dropouts lasting from 1/2 to 1 second.
The hoppers have accessibility but we don't have anything to report
about these receivers, though we might know something soon. If
anyone else knows more about the hopper receivers, let us know about
them. We've been with dish for 21 years, and we're hoping they will
resolve the issues with the receivers. The price does sound good.

Subject: Dish network questions
So after not getting a deal that I could be happy with from At&t
yesterday I've decided to look at other options. I'm considering
Spectrum for internet and Dish for TV depending on what you guys
say about it since they have some really good deals. I hear that
they now having talking boxes, so I was wondering if anyone here
has any experiences with those. but just as important, how
accessible is the IOS app to interact with the equipment? Can you
manage and schedule recordings from your phone? I can get 290
channels from dish for $104 and At&t wants $137 for the exact same
thing. And I'm only able to get 45 down on my internet which about
20 of that is reserved for TV. And with my daughter and everyone
who lives here, 24 down isn't enough.
