Again, why doesn't it work?  We do this every night literally.  We are TV fans 
for sure.

All the best

OK Steve,

I get what you are saying.  Its just that I was given two remotes and one I can 
use to find my favourite channels but I really can’t do what you are saying, it 
doesn’t really work for me.  

Thanks though.

Hi Sandra,

When voice activation comes out, and it will, it won't be the 
accessible remote you'll talk to, it will be the touch remote.  The 
accessible remote doesn't have a microphone.

By the way, don't be fooled by the word touch, there are also buttons 
on the touch remote.  The accessible remote has the advantage though 
of a dedicated audio description button.

All the best

Steve

You would have to have a very good memory just to do all that.  That 
to me is not accessible.  I thought the idea was that you could 
actually talk to the accessible remote that is what the guys at sky 
told me but it is not accessible as yet.

Hi Barry,

Yes you can.  The idea is that you find the programme you want to 
watch in the app, count how many down it is, then press the TV button 
on
the remote.
Then go across once and you are now in your programmes.  They are in 
a grid three by three.  So if you go across 1 you're on Programme 2.
But if you go down 1 you're on Programme 4.

When you've finished watching, you press the back button, then right 
once then select, which deletes that programme.

Note and here's another oddity, just like ITV with audio description.  
You can delete programmes with the Android app from the box, but not 
the iOS app.  Don't ask me why.

All the best

Steve

Wow!  That sounds like a big fail, Steve.  I assume you can do it 
with the accessible remote control though.

Cheers

Barry

Hi Barry,

The main problem for people is that you can't play back programmes on 
the box itself, using the app.

You can however use it, if you can use the app and count.

All the best

Steve

HI Mandy

Why are you finding Sky Q so frustrating?

Cheers

Subject: [access-uk] Sky Plus Again

I had a fairly lengthy conversation with the accessibility 
representative and she logged my complaint, also making a note of the 
fact that it had been logged previously by me and others.

This afternoon I had a call from Sky and the guy said that there 
haven't been many complaints to Sky but that a lot of comments have 
been put on social media.  He said this is no use because they need 
customers account numbers, details from the account such as name, 
address, password etc and also the make of the router, the numbers on 
the
phone also.
I gave him my information and he told me Sky are now working on it 
and I told him that I won't be able to check as we now have skyQ 
which is proving most frustrating at the moment.

Mandy.
