Presumably it would be a relatively straightforward matter to put speech
on to a DVD player/recorder?  Perhaps we should suggest that Pure goes
into the visual media, although I know there voice tag solution for DAB
wouldn't do for DVD.

I very much doubt you will ever see an accessible video recorder.
Indeed a number of high street shops have stopped selling them
altogether.  The video is as good as history.

DVDs are now the in thing.

On top of that, we are now beginning to see digital
receivers with built in hard drives, which finally allow you
to record one station, while watching another.

As for accessibility - well, that's another story.
