Yes I do know about this trick. For some reason on Dish in order to get any audio description on TBS you have to change the SAP setting to Spanish even though there is a setting for audio description in the accessibility settings. It makes no sense to me.

Try switching it to spanish, sometimes that will give you the audio description with dish. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2019 9:30 PM Subject: RE: Audio Description Hi Kevin, Thank you for your message. I also live in GA but I am not in Atlanta but we both get our CBS from the same affiliate so I think that I will try and reach out to them to see if I can get them to understand that this is not acceptable. You said that this began happening for you about 2 weeks ago, it sounds as if that they definitely did something to cause this. at that time because it is at this point that we stopped getting the descriptive track on Dish.

However, I have Comcast. It actually started happening two weeks ago, and this is something that has happened with my CBS local affiliate in the past, but it has been a long time since it has happened. Also, when it has happened before, it did not affect all of my cable boxes, and it didn’t affect me watching the show on the Comcast Xfinity stream app. However, this time it is affecting everything. I don’t know where you live, but I live in Atlanta, Georgia. My local affiliate has no idea what I’m talking about when I’ve spoken to them about this issue. So, I try to reach out to the accessibility department at CBS. I’ve left a couple of messages for them, but so far I haven’t received a return phone call.

I have had issues off and on over the years and have had to work directly with the local channels as for network programming they are the ones. My local CBS channel had a ton of static on the secondary channel, and eventually had to replace equipment. I have 2 ABC stations, and one is in mono, which happened to be the one that “Primetime” auto recorded on, and you couldn’t force it to record on the second channel unless you manually scheduled that. This was all a couple of years ago with Dish. As for Direct, not sure on the remote boxes. The last I knew they still didn’t have speech. I finally got rid of my second receiver as it wasn’t worth the hassle. On the main Genie, my opinion the speech is really poor, but at least it is there. I switched to Direct a little over 2 years ago. Hope that helps.

My wife and I are huge fans of The Big Bang Theory and up until recently we have been able to enjoy the show with audio description on CBS. As this show is down to the last 6 episodes we are wanting to be able to watch these final shows with the audio description, but for some reason Dish is not giving us the description on CBS. I have called them and told about this issue but they do not seem to know why this is happening. My question for the list is: is there anyone else that is having this issue with Dish and if so, have you alerted Dish of the issue? We are really considering switching back to Direct Tv but with Dish we have Text To Speech on the living room tv as well as the one in the bedroom. If I remember correctly when we were with Direct Tv a couple of years ago we could not get Text To Speech in the bedroom. If there are any Direct Tv users on the list can you tell me if this has changed or if we would still not have speech in the bedroom if we were to move back to Direct Tv?
