[BlindTlk] accessible cable TVs

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Chela,

If she is wanting to stick to Cable, then she will need to do her checking with their provider and take it from there.

We have an LG TV that is totally accessible itself, but we only stream.

I think she is looking for an accessible cable box.  How I would have loved one of those years ago when raising the girls.  😊

Judy

If I recall you posted this question to the blind tech group several days ago in which you did get some responses from certain people from Canada regarding what they used or what was available there unfortunately I did not keep that thread because it didn’t apply to me. Secondly I don’t think Canada has Comcast out there so she won’t have access to getting the X one TV box but hey I could be wrong to but Apple TV is a good one in the Apple store carries Apple TV.
