Hi Adrien, Take a look at http://www.sky.com/accessibility. You can download channel listings, so that you can directly type the number of a channel. You can text or set up recordings over the web if you have a Sky Plus box. It is not great if you don't have a computer or a mobile phone, but if you do have either, then you can do a lot with Sky. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrien Collins Sent: 03 August 2007 23:32 To: access uk Subject: [access-uk] facilities for the blind on sky Hi Somebody local on a forum has asked me about sky and how a viperson can use sky. I know nothing about sky but could someone please tell me what facilities sky has for visually impaired people. Is it easy for a vi person to tune into various radio stations? Do sky boxes have speech capabilities?
