[bcab] Re: Sony Bravia televisions

Hi folks,

Whilst the   introduction of AD to Sony Bravia televisions is good news,
what I am screaming for is a TV which will give me screen reader access to
all programme menus etc.  Where is the world with this one, and what is the
British Government's moral responsibility to VIPs  with their enforced
introduction of digital TV starting this autumn?

Could we mimic RNIB's   braille Valentine cards to all MPs (with David
Blunkett of course getting an ink print one) by staging a blindfold exercise
for MPs  to find their way around the different channel and programme
options on today's multiplicity of TV channels?

What is happening on this front?

Chris.

Following the good news about Sony's introduction of audio description
compatibility into Bravia TVs, we visited John Lewis on Monday. Surprise
surprise, the very helpful sales assistant knew almost nothing about this.
He was very willing to learn though and did a bit of on the spot research
which we both appreciated.  The outcome: only one model within the Bravia
range on display in the store had audio description capability.  Does anyone
know when this feature will be available in all Bravia models?

Kind Regards
Robin
