I have an iPhone, and I do all kinds of stuff with it, but I've not found any 
of the cable boxes or dish boxes to be accessible.

some can be programmed on the computer, but not with the remote.

I love my iPhone though.

  Subject: Question on using DVR


  Hi everyone,

   

  I know that perhaps this isn't a subject that directly deals with this list, 
but this is also a list made up of blind people who always help one another out 
with new things.

   

  So, here's the deal.

  I just got a great deal on phone, Internet, and TV.  The TV is with DirectTV 
and part of that comes with a DVR.  With the latest technological advances, is 
it possible for a totally blind person like myself to use a DVR with any sort 
of ease?

  I know that some can be managed via a computer, and if that's the case, how 
well does something like that work with JAWS?  Does anyone know anything about 
this?  What about an IPhone?  Does anyone know about that?

  If this is the case, then I'll keep the DVR.  If not, then it probably 
doesn't make sense to have it, does it?

  Please share your thoughts either on or off list.

  I apologize for the subject matter.

  Jim Portillo
