Hi Sandra,
You can set up either freeview, free sat, or satellite, although I negeleted
to have a good look round the telly before it went up on the wall, so I'm
not sure where the Sky card would go, but as I don't have Sky, it was not a
worry for me. I've tried both freeview and the freesat, and they both work
well, and are easy to set up using the voice guide. One thing though, it's
either or, not both, so if you want to change from freeview to freesat, you
have to retune, and vice versa. I don't know how this would work with the
satellite set up.
I hope this helps, and feel free to ask anything that might help with your
decision.
Regards.
Jim.

Hi Jim,
Thank you very much Jim for this information. Could I just ask another
question ? is it just freview or can you use sky as well. I am hoping to
go in to curries soon to see if they will let me have a look at it that’s of
course they have it in stock. It is a new model so surely they would have
it. Also I am waiting to see if anyone else has any suggestions before I
make up my mind.
O yes and when you say it speaks to you, is it as good as theTvonics was?
does it tell you what channel you are on and so forth?

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.
