Hi William.
Clearly you are disapproving, this isn't for you and clearly you feel that it
is inadequate. I feel the same way, but sometimes we have to shrug our
shoulders and accept that some accessibility is better than no accessibility.
This product was probably designed to cater for the needs of many people, not
just the totally blind. Market forces will decide whether this is a success or
failure, but one thing I am certain of is that if we scoff and criticize
without giving constructive feedback, they might just shelve any further
developments on this whole concept and leave us exactly where we are now. I've
been a sky digital customer since the service launched and I can tell you that
things are a lot better in terms of accessibility than they ever were when I
joined, for instance no accessible customer service, no audio description and
no accessible TV guide or accessible sky information portal and certainly no
audio magazine. Sometimes we just have to accept that developing products that
cater for the needs of many is the motivation behind the biggest companies as
they've more to gain by that than by catering for the needs of a handful. I
could go on in this vein but I've better things to do.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi.
I've got a mate at Sky who tells me that the new Sky Talker doesn't read
the EPG, it won't let you record, it actually can't tell you what channel
you're on but it does tell you if your television is on or off. But not if
you've got HD.
