Granted I might have overreacted in my anger, but the point is that the service is there and should be working. This was, according to sky itself, the TV event of the generation. Sure there are bigger problems out there, but each person's problem is their own problems. Many people are complaining about the lack of speech with sky EPG. Should we just tell all those people to shut up because some opeople don't even have access to basic computing somewhere in the world? If our screenreader doesn't work how it's supposed to do, should we just shut up and deal with it, because, after all someone somewhere can't afford even a computer, let alone a screenreader that works? Yes, of course I watched TV without audio description before it existed. I also used internet with very basic potential back in 97 compared to what my screenreader does now, does it mean I should just settle for back to what it used to be back then if, for some reason it didn't perform as it should do? The fact that you are happy watching programs without AD is your choice. I pay sky good money and I don't think that this should be just let go and not be mentioned. If the entire series wasn't audio described, I would understand that I shouldn't be expect just one episode to be so, it shouldn't be the other way round. I was very excited to watch this, was something I was looking forward to all weekend and I have a right to be annoyed.

Well it's not the end of the world is it. I watch lots of programs without AD because I tend to forget to turn it on after the children have turned it off. Stop making such a drama out of it. That problem of yours is very minor compared to some other blind persons who is sitting in a third world country without a basic means of a telly nevermind AD. Stop magnifying your blindness and learn to live with it as its a sighted world. The world doesn't revolve around blinks. So if AD was switched off then so be it. I'm sure you got along without the introduction of AD. I'm not having a go at you. I'm just pointing out that you can't always have it your way. It's called life.Original message:I'm so pissed off beyond belief! Probably like many people across the country and the world, I woke up early to watch lost, the last episode of it. Yet, for hell knows what reason it's not audio described! Every episode on sky 1 was audio described, yet this last, probably most crusual one is not being audio described! Maybe it's a technical fault and that is probably what it is, but it is so so so not fair! I understand that the episode is being repeated again tomorrow at 9 PM, but it is still unfair that everyone will be talking about it and that I have to wait because sky can't be bothered to fix something that might not be importart to the majoritty of viewers, but it is still important! I don't know if any of you watch lost and have just now attempted to watch this last episode, but I would assume you're experiencing the same problem. This is just umbelievable! I'm sorry, this is probably somewhat off topic, but I'm so angry and I had to let it off my chest somewhere and especially since not many other people are awake this time of the morning, this seemed like the perfect place.Vanja http://www.sudar.co.uk <http://www.sudar.co.uk> http://twitter.com/internetking <http://twitter.com/internetking>MSN/windows live messenger: sudar23@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:sudar23@xxxxxxxxxxx>AIM: vanja121--Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.
