can you ring sky and get them to register for you? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 8:09 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sky+ accessible by SMS and internet Hi Damon, I should warn folks though that the process of registering for the SMS service, is totally inaccessible to us, since you have to register using Interactive Services, My Sky on the Sky box on which you want recordings made. There is no way currently to register using the computer alone. I am registered, and it is fantastic, with a few limitations, but the registration is not currently do-able without sight. One good thing, you can have up to eight mobile phones per account registered, so everyone in a typical household should be able to text the service, from their individual mobile phones, but you have to register each phone to the service. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

Sky+ is a satellite receiver with a built in hard disk drive recorder and is revolutionising the way people consume TV. It's mainly meant for people who forgot to add things to their planner when at home but has obvious accessible uses for visually impaired people who cannot access the standard menus. But as well as this, Sky is launching an internet service where you can add things to your Sky+ planner from your computer. This internet service will be available some time this summer.
