The best thing to do with the Sky app is to play. Just tap on different
things. You can't break it. If you get stuck, there is always a Home
button at the top of the screen in the Sky app. If you get even more stuck,
just close it and delete it in app switcher, then open it again and it will
be back at the home screen.

Cheers

Barry

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

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
