not sure about the verison dvr, but the directv dvr does have an ios app
that at least gives some functionality to the blind for controling the dvr.
try calling version and see if there is an app that will let you control it
from your ios device.

Subject: Looking for an accessible DVR
Hi listers,
While watching the final season of Breaking Bad as it was broadcast, I
found myself wishing I had a DVR. I have grown to love the Apple TV,
as it has opened up the worlds of Netflix and HBO go to me, and can't
believe there isn't an accessible DVR solution. I am fairly happy
with my Verizon Fios service, although more for the internet speeds
than the TV. Is there any way I could use their DVR either via the
computer or IOS device? I have limited vision, and one of the things
I like about the iPad is the ability to hold it very close to my face
to watch TV. This enables me to use my vision much more than watching
the set from a distance. If the Verizon DVR is unusable to a blind
person, might there be a solution from another provider? Could I buy
a DVR from another company and integrate it with my Fios service?
Please let me know if there is another list that would be better
suited for this discussion. The BlindTech list appears to be gone.
Thanks in advance.
Eric
