But does it give access to Sky+ ? The following is taken from a longer article
about access technology on the BBC website this morning:

the Pan Opticus is a simple box that sits between a digital satellite receiver
and a TV to read the on-screen menus.

The Pan Opticus gives a voice to Sky's electronic programme guide
The device reads all of the on-screen text including banners and programme
synopses available via the info button.
The Pan Opticus is operated by the existing Sky remote controller and the
speech output can easily be switched on and off.
It also alerts people when a programme is accompanied by audio description,
subtitles or sign language.
Made by a company based in Suffolk, the Pan Opticus should be available later
this year and will cost around £150.
