Hi Trace.
Yu certainly can, the Sky Plus app lets you access your planner, manage and
watch your recordings, schedule recordings either remotely or when at home
using the TV guide feature as well as set reminders for programs you want to
view, access the on demand and sky store functions, in short not much that
you can't do from the remote. The only things you can't do conversely are
things requiring menu access, such as ironically, turning on audio
description or subtitles etc..
All the best, Ibrahim.

Not completely useless, Trace. This latest accessibility is going to be
very useful for many visually impaired people, and the Sky app on the iPhone
is superb. Yes, they could do more, a lot more, but it's not like they
haven't done anything.
Cheers
Barry

they obviously have far better uses to fritter away their millions on.
they're a complete waste of space when it comes to accessibility

I'm not a sky customer any more, so please correct me on any errors below
but, I showed sky the talking Freeview box around the time tvonix were
going
out of business, as I had just left sky after purchasing one. I said they
might want to adapt the box for their use and save a small company to
produce accessible sky boxes using the talking platform, but no, tvonix
went
bust, and I fear, reading Steve's post below that sky have done little
more
than make iPhone apps rather than make their boxes any more accessible
three
years on. I now use an iPhone, and could take advantage of that
functionality if I went back to sky, but, in my opinion they should make
their boxes talk, after all, they have the money, and the concept has been
provenby the tvonix , so r and d would be a small pittance.

Hi all
Sky have a new level of accessibility for their Sky box and on-screen
menu's. You can now increase contrast and font size.
Cheers
