Hi Saqib

So are you saying sighted people have no right to say no to AD?
Should the blind  come first  if so why?

HI Dean you've got every right to watch TV and take as much info in as 
possible as long as AD is available to the programs you watch. I get members

of 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.
