Hi Saqib So are you saying sighted people have no right to say no to AD? Should the blind come first if so why? Regards, Derek -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Saqib Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 8:13 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: PURCHASING A TELEVISION 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. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Dean Wilcox" <wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 7:01 PM To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [access-uk] Re: PURCHASING A TELEVISION > My Parents bought a Techwood TV from Morisons, 32 inch I think and it also > has audio description.
