Hi Damon:
I don't know if this will be of any use to you, but I have a puff of the
manual for sky plus had here. I had a long talk with sky today about
accessibility, and how they should upgrade their website if they cannot do
anything with their box, as they professed to me they could not.
if you'd like a copy, please let me know.

Subject: [access-uk] Sky + HD
Hi. I've just got Sky + HD. I got it to increase the amount of programmes I
could record. My girlfriend can see the menus but obviously I'm looking at
how blind accessible it is. It seems substantially different from Sky + at
first look which is potentially an issue for future blind customers as the
HD box now comes as standard, as far as I'm aware.
I couldn't find anything on Google about accessibility of Sky HD boxes for
blind people so I have created a blog post to fill this gap. I've given it a
really obvious googlable title so it's easy to find by blind people in
future. If you have anything useful to add it'd be great if you could post
it in the comments below.
I've barely started using the box yet but will update this as my knowledge
updates. Hopefully you or someone you know can help. Good to get this stuff
on record and easily findable on the web.
Here's my blog about it so far:
