  Hi. I mailed sky accessibel customer services last night for more detail. 
This moves the story on a tiny bit as it gives some explanation of the HDTV 
situation. 

  TEXT BEGINS 

  Thank you for your email.  

  I can confirm that as of the 26th October the Sky Talker box will be 
available for sale.  

  Sky Talker is a device that will attach to the back of a Sky+ box or STB and 
will give an audio description of the programme information through the 
television

  speakers. It is not recommended for use with Sky+ HD unless the customer is 
not connecting through HDMI.  

  Kind Regards

  Gotta love their usage of the phrase 'audio description' here in the wrong 
context. Or at least, I think it's the wrong context. I hope this does actually 
speak the EPG. 

  Has anyone ascertained how much this box is going to cost?
