Hi,

I've read the recent posts about Sky Plus with interest, and have been 
wondering whether or not to get it, but have concerns over its accessibility.

I believe that it's easy enough to fast forward and rewind using the remote 
control, but how easy is it to select programmes to record and then select them 
for playback later?  It's all driven from on-screen visual menus isn't it?  
Please can anyone explain the ease/difficulty of use to help me decide if it's 
worth going for it.
 
Also, I've read somewhere on the internet that Sky are to bring out an 
accessible version of Sky Plus, but when I phoned Sky's disability line, they 
didn't know anything about it.  Has anybody else heard anything?  If it's true, 
then I'll wait for that, but if it's rumour I could be waiting for ever.

Thanks,

Nige
