Hi Reggie,
Yes, I believe that to be true. You can browse some of the content and add
it to your queue but you have been able to see much much more on the site
itself. Once it is in your queue though you can see all of it.
Thanks,
Jim

I would assume that's true for sighted people with Apple TV as well? That
is they can't see everything that could be accessed from the site till it's
put in the cue?

Hi Reggie,
So far I don't see a problem with the Netflix site with JAWS 12 and IE9.
I'll spend some time with it but it looks okay so far. The Netflix app for
the iPod and iPad has never been great. On the surface it looks accessible
but often double tapping on things does nothing and some things appear to be
accessible but are not. Someone needs to do some work on it. The Apple TV
does a pretty good job of accessing much of the streaming content but it
appears that you can't get to everything with it either. Basically it won't
show you all the available content that can be accessed by directly
accessing their site. If you use your computer to put stuff in your queue
then use the Apple TV to watch it that is the best way of doing it.
Thanks,
Jim Ellsworth

Are you kidding? Of course! I think the app is moderately accessible. Jim
would know better.

Can blind users get to Net Flicks using Apple products?

Can anyone directly confirm or enlarge on the below item from Top Tech
Tidbits?
6) On the opposite side of the accessibility spectrum, I am unable to verify
this from here in Costa Rica, but one user reports that the Netflix site is
now inaccessible to blind users. No indication as to whether this is true
when using all screen readers, but if it is true it is a backward step that
might call for some feedback to the organization.
