Hi,
I have installed the Sky app on my iPad. it's totally inaccessable using
Voiceover. The app doesn't start up with Voiceover running.

Broadcaster lets users control their Sky+ box through an iPad
Users can change channels without having to find the remote
Will let users use Twitter and Facebook to share what they are watching
It turns an iPad into a giant Sky remote, letting users change channels,
record programmes and even rewind shows.
HOW IT WORKS
The Sky+ box is connected to a home network via either a cable or wireless
connection.
This allows the iPad, which must be connected to the same network, to 'see'
the TV box and control it.
Alongside this, the update will also allow Sky customers to see what’s stored
on their Sky+ planner and make changes without interrupting their TV viewing.
'A new design meanwhile makes it even easier for Sky customers to use the app
to set recordings of their favourite shows over the following seven days,
scrolling through the whole week in the TV Guide and selecting which shows they
want to record,
which they can do either by episode or entire series,' Sky said.
To access the full range of functionality through the revamped app, Sky TV
customers need to have the new look Sky TV Guide on their
Sky+HD box, and to make sure their Sky+HD box is connected to the same
broadband network as their iPad.
