Hi Damon,
It's not happening for me yet, but if it does, I won't complain. Menus that
don't wrap are much more manageable, if you have no feedbac. So just hold
down the down arrow for a few seconds, and you'll be at the bottom, then go
up. You have the same effect.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Sky + menu change
Hi.
Has anyone else noticed the Sky + menu wrap change or is it just me?
To get to the Sky+ planner, you hit TV Guide then the green button and
you're on the menu of programmes you've recorded (and that are waiting to
record)
The cursor is at the top of the list but what I tend to do at this stage is
to arrow upwards to get to the bottom of the list where I can find the
programmes I've most recently recorded.
It seems that the new software change, on my box at least, has stopped you
from being able to arrow upwards. You can now only arrow downwards.
For a blind user who gets no speech feedback, this makes it more difficult
as you could find yourself fighting your way through dozens and dozens of
programmes before you get to the programme you want.
On the slightly good news front, I should add that I've found if you arrow
down and down and down without thinking, when you hit the bottom you stay at
the bottom and so can arrow back upwards to find the latest programmes. i.e.
when you arrow down to the bottom, it doesn't wrap round to the top again so
that at least is helpful and you won't have to keep a count or a list of
programmes you've recorded so you can keep track. Or something.
