Hi John
I haven't subscribed to Sky now for a long time, I just don't have the time
to watch football, and tend to listen to some of it free on the radio. We
still use our Sky HD box though for free channels, but the Sky Plus app
doesn't allow you to record because you need to subscribe to a package for
that to work. Thank goodness for TVonics then which we use when we want to
record a documentary or something.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

it is still available. It only speaks channel names, there is no EPG
There used to be one for around #70 called Sky Talker, but I don't know if
thing.
Sky have really got away with not providing accessibility on their
boxes unless you can use one of the apps. I personally think Ofcom
should have come down on them and other providers like Virgin Media
really hard given what they charge people. Still, a rant for another
time and place! (smile.)
