Yeah, that's why I ended up at Richer Sounds. At least I could see and listen to what I purchased.

What concerns me deeply about these modern sets is that
they have a touch control pannel at the front. I bought a
tv from Argos and it doesn't have any physical buttons.
It's pure madness. I was totally unaware of these touch
pannels as I hadn't purchased a tv in at least 3 years.

  You can Google for Webbie for the blind. -----

  Hi Niamh.

  Not all tv's unfortunately can receive audio
description.  If it is available on your set, there may
be a menu option for it in the audio language settings
in the menu system or there may be a dedicated
accessibility menu for settings of this nature.  You
need to refer to the instructions supplied with your TV
set, upgrade the firmware of the set if an upgrade is
available through the internet or connect a third party
Freeview receiver like the TVonics which has been
specifically designed to provide access to accessibility
features.

  All the best and good luck, Ibrahim.

  My television is smart, if you know what I mean, and
connects  directly to the internet.
  I can not find, with sighted help, a way of accessing
audio description, am I being stupid?
