Sounds a good piece of kit allowing us more on a par with the sighted viewers
Ian.
I think though, as it does indeed put us on a par a bit, that this should be
supplied free if we request it, after all the rest of the Sky equipment is
supplied free, having to shell out £60 is surely discrimination?

Hi Damon,
I use the Sky Talker every day and it has 2 minor benefits.
1. I find it useful having the programme name announced as soon as a
recording starts to play. Previously, I would sometimes have to fast forward
through a few minutes of adverts to be sure I was playing the right programme.
That can make navigating the planner less frustrating.
2. With a recorded film, it is sometimes a couple of weeks before I get
around to watching it. Being able to here the programme info is useful to
remind me what the film is about.
I rarely watch anything on Sky as it is broadcast, so having the current
programme and channel announced doesn’t really make any difference to me.
For the small benefit the Sky Talker offers, it is hard to justify the price.
On the other hand, I don’t regret buying the box, just wish it could do so
much more.
Incidentally, I recently received a form from Sky allowing me to claim back
the VAT so should be getting around £10 credited to my next Sky statement.
Cheers.
Ian

Two months down the road I'm interested to know who got a Sky Talker and if
they use it often and find it useful.
It was talked down quite a bit because potential users were upset that it was
feature poor, but has it made a difference to the way you use Sky?
IT'd be really good to hear from you.
