Adrian, Sky boxes don't have speech capabilities, however Sky offers services like subtitles for the deaf or hard of hearing, audio description for the blind and low vision users, and, I think, a monthly CD containing the Sky magazine. Look at www.sky.com for more information. Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien Collins" <adriencollins06@xxxxxxx>
