At least some of the IR emiters/dongles plug into the headphone jack which means they disable Voiceover. I found one that plugs into the 30-Pin connector, but the app while somewhat accessible is really to complicated to be useful. Having said all this even these solutions would not allow you to use advanced features of your TV or receiver as they cannot access, for example, the receiver's or TV's on-screen display and menues. The only solution that would give you full access would be to find a receiver which is designed to connect to your network and which comes with its own app and even then of course there is still the issue as to whether the app would be accessible. I believe Sony, Denon, Yahama, Pioneer and maybe others do make receivers for which you can get a free app, but I haven't tried any since unfortunately I bought my receiver the year before Sony released one that has that feature. The example of accessible apps for some of the cable providers shows receivers shows that it certainly is possible to make this accessible. I think in the future more and more receivers, tV's and so on will have this capability and we can just hope that manufacturers will make the apps accessible although I also think that accessibility will be considered more and more as Android accessibility improves and developers realize that even though it maybe not ahuge market, there is a market. For the time being Regards, SieghardThanks so much for this great explanation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
