Hi,
No, sighted people unfortunately. I am only going on what reviews/other groups
opinions are, and they are definitely not for the Sagem models.
Andrew.

Hi Andrew -
When you say a lot of people like the Fusion and Humax boxes, are these blind
people, using them independently?

Hi Andy,
I have heard nothing but bad reviews from people with these boxes -
they have all taken them back.
For what it's worth, I have an older Pace box which I got in 2003 with
twin tunor, and although it only has 20 gb, it works for me fine. However, I
do have a bit of site, and have had issues where a command I have entered
hasn't been entered (usually due to the remote control not pointing exactly in
the right direction), and I prefer to enter in the programs using the EPG
rather than the manual input screen.
A lot of people like the Fusion and Humax boxes (may be by the same
manufacturer).
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] More on set top boxes
Hi all -
My research on this so far, has produced the below item from Argos,
which looks pretty much what I'm after, but I'm wondering about it's
accessibility, so anybody seen one or using one? any body got any comments on
Sagem as a brand?
Also Elsewhere, I have seen something called the IPLAYER plus that
seems to have the ability to deliver the audio described signal, it claims to
be the only top box to do this, is this true does anybody know? And will it
record, or is it just a receiver? Grateful for any help in this mine field!
