Thanks for that. As I said in my message, I wasn't sure of the entirety of the message posted since it seemed to be missing some key information.

Hi, Raul,

The apps you mentioned are directly available on our LG TV and don't need any kind of box.

Hello, maybe I missed some context or another part of the conversation. However, my experience with YouTube and with my TV is quite a positive one. Both the YouTube and the YouTube TV apps are accessible in the various ways that I use them. My primary phone is a Google pixel and my primary TVs are the Amazon Omni and the Amazon Toshiba fire edition tvs. Plus I also have a couple of Amazon fire sticks. Everything is completely accessible. If I ever need to sign into a new app on the TV and the code is displayed, either the voice from the TV itself will read it out loud, or there will be a QR code, or I can use my phone's camera with a specified app to get the code. While it is true that not all streaming services offer audio description, apps like YouTube tv, peacock, paramount, Disney, prime video, netflix, and a few others have them.
