Whilst we are on this subject, does anybody have any info on the software Sky is busy piloting on HD boxes to provide speech output for menus etc. They have told me they are expecting to make it available on Sky+ boxes as well as HD at some point.

Subject: [access-uk] Accessible Set-top Boxes

All,

This subject has probably been discussed to death, so apologies for going
over old ground so to speak.

I'm looking for a set-top box that has audio description.  The Portset
receiver is beyond my budget so does anyone have any views on the ones RNIB
are selling?  As I understand it, these while providing audio description,
don't have any other accessible features.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks very much,

Sayka Hussain
