Hi Jim and all,
I got my Samsung UE49KU6400 TV yesterday and I can confirm that this 40 inch
model does have voice guidance. So far I'm impressed with the voice guidance
on the freeview channels, however, the BBC IPlayer isn't talking, so I must
be doing something wrong. Does Jim who sent the original message regarding
this model know if this program works? Also could Jim send me (off list ) a
summery of the keys on the handset, after the zero key, I say off list
because people on this list might not be interested and I don't want to clog
up the list.
Thanks for any assistance.
Jim (Yep another Jim)

Hi Sandra,
I just got rid of my Panasonic talking tv, in favour of a new Samsung model.
I have to say, I'm very impressed with all that the Samsung speaks, and now
including a bunch of 3rd party aps, including Netflix. Although that now
speaks, I haven't found out how to activate the audio description on the
site through the telly. The newer Panasonic tv's are less accessible than
the original 2012 model I just got rid of. The model I got was the Samsung
UE49KU6400, and as I said, everything speaks, all the menues, settings, tv
guide, sources, and even when I record direct from the telly onto an
external hard drive, all is read out. Lastly, I stuck a bunch of movies
from my pc onto the drive, plugged it into the telly, and I was informed
that the drive had been connected, and if I would like to browse the files,
and it read the names of all the movies, very cool.
Billy from Scotland, who is on this list, might still have a list of the
other Samsung models that have the voice guide feature, that he could share,
as sadly I can't seem to find it at the moment.
Regards.
Jim.

Hi All,
My Samsung TV has died of death now. Does anyone know of an accessible or
fairly accessible TV. I have heard of the Panasonic but not sure if they
are in use any more. Has anyone got any ideas for a good TV??
Thank you.
