Hi Derek In my own home everyone will have the same access to the TV program and more importantly the same amount of info thanks to AD. The sighted will not lose out if AD is switched on. So there for I can't even see it being a burdon up on them. I wouldn't be so adimant in receiving AD in a cinema as we are very much the minority aposed two me being one person out of 4 who needs AD at home.-------------------------------------------------- From: "Derek Hornby" <derek.hornby_uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 10:53 PM To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [access-uk] Re: PURCHASING A TELEVISIONHi Saqib So are you saying sighted people have no right to say no to AD? Should the blind come first if so why?

I get membersof my family complaining about AD and I tell my children either they watch the program as it is or leave the room and me in piece. It does the trick.-------------------------------------------------- From: "Dean Wilcox" <wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 7:01 PM To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [access-uk] Re: PURCHASING A TELEVISIONMy Parents bought a Techwood TV from Morisons, 32 inch I think and it alsohas audio description. Never heard about it before that so a nice bit of luck there. I haven't had much to do with it though as it is a family TVand I don't think AD would go down well with everyone.

Can anyone point me in the direction of guides re what to look out for, from the point view of accessibility when purchasing a television?
