Hiya, firstly I might look in to starting up a blind sky+ user group email list. I'll have a think about how I use my sky+ and post some notes on it sometime. It's a bit fiddly, and you have ot remember key presses to get to where you think you need to be. Then if your going ot record quite a few programs, I just tend to have to play them all until I find the one I want. Not too bad though. It's annoying that you can't set a series link using text or the web. Even more annoying is that we get charged 25p for each program set to record by text mesage. I've asked sky a few times if they could look at not billing blind customers for this service as it's a need for us, not a luxury.

Has anyone produced a list of instructions on how to use Skky plus as a totally blind user?

So Sky Plus while not fully accessible, is workable by someone with no sight like me.

If you can see a screen, you should be able to use sky plus effectively. Its really easy to use as long as you can navigate the EPG on sky. I don't know of any list for blind people who are sky users, if there were I'd be a member. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Bourke To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 2:40 PM Subject: [access-uk] sky plus hi folks, does any one know if sky plus or free view plus is very accessible for a partially sighted person? also, has any one ever heard of the sky mailing list for blind people? cheers Joe Bourke
