[BlindTlk] verizon tv status

[Pamela Dominguez]

My remote doesn't let me change channels unless I either turn the TV off and 
on, or press the button on the right corner that will say "press any key to 
watch Fios", and I forget what the rest of the message is.  Then, I can 
change channels once and it gets stuck.  I have changed batteries, but 
that's not the problem.  Pam.

Restored.  Furthermore, battery status messages only flash on the screen
and do not get spoken on text to speech.  Probably use of a remote with
weak batteries caused the random channels problem I had.  Until verizon
gets those remote battery status messages talking on text to speech, if
you get a random channels problem change batteries and see if it improves.
Now, about buying a new tv, the only tv's that could have a problem
working with text to speech are the ones sold just as hdmi standards
started being put in place.  There was a period of about 6 months when
competing hdmi standards were in use and the tv's with those competing
standards usually have only one hdmi port on the back.  Even with these
tv's, a coaxial cable connecting the set top box and the tv antenna
connector can be used eliminating use of hdmi entirely.  Nobody ought to
have been told to buy a new tv, verizon could have mailed you a coaxial
cable you could have connected and eliminated any hdmi problem you were
having.
