Sky Talker - a little bit more infoOK, what does this tell us? its ok for an
ordinary sky plus box? and the speechcomes through the speakers?
Why isn't it suitable for sky plus hd and is there a work around for this? will
they be upgrading it for sky plus hd?
Sorry for all of the questions but I'm not very clever in this sort of thing.

Subject: [access-uk] Sky Talker - a little bit more info
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.

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?
