Hi again James.

As you know I'm very new to SKY, but the guys who set it up for me whent into settings and checked the box in there that ensured that all AD content would go through my system.

So you need sighted assistence to make sure that this check-box has been checked.

Hope this of some assistance.

Sorry, by 'get it to speak' I meant get audio description to work. Sky
is still years behind with accessibility

Hi James.

I'm total and only recently recieved my new SKY box and remote control,
which goes to the channel you ask it too by pressing a side butten on the
remote.

I've not spent any time with it for over 3 weeks now as I believe I need
initial sighted assistance.

I was aware that the box will peep to let you know that this show is audio
described.

What I didn't know  however, was that this box can also speak !

If it can, then this is the  best news I've heard in years.

What makes you think that it also has a speach engine?

Very best wishes.

Hello,

My tv is beeping, indicating that a show has audio description, but I
don't know how to get it to speak. Does anybody know how to do this
without sighted assistance?

Thanks,
- James
