I can confirm that my parents Samsung TV which by the way also has speech
capabilities, also supports this feature. I don't remember exact model
number and such details off the top of my head, but can find out at a later
stage if anyone is interested.

I believe some of the recent Samsung models include 2 tuners. With an
external hard drive plugged into the USB port, it would be possible to watch
one programme while recording another. That's certainly what I will be
choosing when my TV needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, the bloody thing
just keeps working!

Hi Martin.
Most TV's have talking menus on now I think from the major manufacturers. We
recently bought a samsung TV and it has talking EPG, menus, channel listing
in realtime etc. similar to the TVOnics really.
it tells you verbally when something isn't going to be read out if you click
on the option. I'd advise you to pop in to currys or a local TV shop with
someone sighted if possible, and get them to flick through the menus to look
for an option called voice guide /accessibility. its normally in the main
menu or in system. failing that, choose a TV you like the sound of, then
download the manual for it. that's what I did with mine and if it lists
accessibility and tells you what it may read out, then that could be a great
help. I've been quite impressed by samsung equipment of late, they're making
quite an effort for the VI market.
cheers,
Mo.

Hi folks
I'm due for a new TV and wondered if anyone knows if there is any out
there with accessible talking menues for setup and operation. I'm sure
I heard a while ago that panasonic were making one that was fully
talking similar to the TVonics box, I need a smart TV for internet
channels. Any info, blogs etc for me to look into will be much
appreciated.
