Hi.
I did of course mean to say Sky Go, however Sky Go doesn't provide Audio
Description on any of its content, you have to go to the individual apps,
websites or channel for AD content. Apologies for any confusion caused.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I take your point that perhaps accessing AD on a PC isn't going to be
a priority for some, but I don't think we should be expected to carry
an Android device for one thing, an iOS device to access another, and so on.
If the ITV Hub carries AD on the Android and Fire platforms, then why
not on iOS and PC? And as for Channel Five, that's a complete no-no.
In the grand scheme of things it's not overly important, but I'm not
alone in thinking it's about time these companies should be providing
AD and accessibility across 'all' platforms.
Kind regards,

Hi Jackie,
My own feeling on it is that all these companies are trying to move
away from PC access and use phones and tablets instead. So I don't
think campaigning for PC use will get you anywhere, but that's my feeling.
For example, Seeing AI is on iOS, and not Android, but I'm not getting
upset about it, it's the way of the world. I use whatever method I
have to hand to use it more easily, which is why in your case, I
recommended the Polaris Mini.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve
I accessed the ITV Hub and an AD programme last night on my Polaris
Mini so will indeed be taking it with me. But it isn't going to deter
me from putting pressure on these companies to deliver AD on all
platforms. I can't do much on my own so anyone who feels particularly
frustrated should do likewise. But instead of targeting ITV Hub
directly, we need to try to influence bodies to campaign officially.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie,
Silly question, but why not take your Polaris? That will let you
watch the ITV hub with audio description. It's smaller than your
laptop, and less for you to carry about.
All the best
Steve

Hi Yusuf
Yes looks like that's exactly right. I checked iOS earlier and it is
nowhere to be seen yet either. It's shameful quite honestly! I've
written to them a few times, along with many others, but clearly ITV
doesn't think it is important enough. In the grand scheme of things
it isn't, but it would be nicer to follow a programme with AD included.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Last time I checked Jackie, I couldn't figure out how to do this
either and don't think it is currently possible. It appeared that the
only way of watching catch up TV with audio description from ITV was
to use the Android App.

Subject: [access-uk] Using the ITV Hub on a PC
Has anyone used the ITV Hub on a PC before and, if so, how you find
programmes with Audio Description? When I go away, I generally take
my Amazon Fire tablet as the ITV Hub definitely carries AD. But I was
thinking of taking my laptop to cover everything I need instead, but
haven't found anything on the ITV Hub online which points to AD.
Thanks for any pointers.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown
