Martin absolutely right it should be accessible and the fact that the reemote record option doesn't work from the screenreader version is crazy.

Good luck mate!

Sky plus is a sky box with a hard drive so you can record prgrammes. Since terry's mail re left clicking etc, I have tried this, and it works well, but
is clunky, so I won't be easing up on sky to fix the problem with the
accessible tv listings on the sky website.-----Original Message-----

Will someone please tell me more about this service as I've no idea about
what you're talking about? is there an extra charge for this?

Martin.
Well you are kind of right here.
For some reason if you try to remote record from the screenreader version
of the TV guide it doesn't work, however if you do if from the normal TV
guide which is accessibnle anyway it works just fine, you just have to
left click the program then left click the remote record, then enter you
the yes option.
I use it several times a day and have no issues.

The problem is, as I have written in a previous message, the remote
record
feature on the website is busted for screen reader users.  So I cannot
remote record without texting.  Watch this space to see if I get a
response
in the next week.

Thing is though that if you dont' want ot use the box directly recording
stuff is very accessible either via sky.com and remote record or via
texting.
Personally I use a mix of Remote4 Record and Manual Record, the advantage

of
manual record being that you can specify the actual channel, so for
example
if I want ITV AD I can tell it to record from 993.
I must say I was reluctant at first to get the box but now taht I have I
can
enjoy programs that I used to watch when I had the time.

I agree 100% with  Terry's sentiments. The Plus box is a crackin' piece
of
kit and I'd be lost without it, but the fact still remains that it is
less
than customer friendly from this lists point of view. Although I'll
certainly put up with its little inaccessible ways as the over all
product
is a winner for me!
