hi mike, 

NO. ON the sky accessibility site


http://accessibility.sky.com/news/sky-talker

says 

For the first time Sky customers will be able to hear some of the on screen 
text. It will vocalise the search and scan banner, programme synopsis 
information and Sky+ functionality such as play, pause and rewind - making 
navigation easier and quicker for blind and partially sighted customers.
Almost 2 million people in the UK have sight problems, around 100 people every 
day begin to lose their sight and the number of people with sight problems is 
predicted to double by 2050.
Sky Talker will integrate seamlessly with the Sky+ and Sky Digi boxes so 
customers can continue to use their existing service without having to learn a 
new User Interface.
Sky Talker will be compatible with Sky+HD boxes, from summer 2011.
