Yes indeed it is.
Actually although right now its very basic its better than nothing.
Yes the voices leave a little to be desired but leaving that aside
accessibility to anything has to begin somewhere, its very easy for people
to sit on the sideline moaning and complaining but of course often if people
are subject to a continuous barrage of that nonsense they will loose
enthusiasm to work to improve things.
In my humble view good on sky for starting to provide access to the box, and
here's to the future.
Sorry if thats far too positive and optimistic!

Hi William,
According to Sky, the firmware is upgradable. So who knows what might
happen.
All the best

I will monitor developments in this if it could have been upgraded and i'd
be buying in to the future then i'd probably look at it

I can say that the benfit of just being able to browse the channels and hear
the programme, name, synopsis of what's available at hte time without having
to sit and listen to a programme for a few minutes to work out if I want to
watch it, or the same with recorded programmes, then really it's worth
paying the money as it menas I'm more likely to get the most of my sky
subscription. That's not the same as asking if I think it is worth £70
though because the answer is probably no. But can you put a price on the
limited accessibility it's already given me. Each individual will have to
decide for themselves but I for one am happy, although I think it's wrong we
are having to pay for accessibility.
