Hi Nigel,
Well, there is a few things I could say about this but suffice to say I've gone
down the same road as yourself. I have also heard that sky are planning an
accessible version of accessing sky plus but like yourself, I basically hit
upon a brick wall. I certainly know of people on this list who are involved
with trialing this system but of course, nothing has been forthcoming. I do
believe though that there are a couple of systems being trialed. One involves
communicating with your sky plus box via SMS and the other is via a web
interface.
Perhaps at some point we will learn more about this!
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Accessibility of Sky Plus
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
