[Electronics-talk] Comcast

[Tom Evans]

I have Comcast and love the system.  I started with tivo, when it first came
out.  they do not know if it is accessible.  They are put on the phone with
a script.  I would be legally blind, with some vision.  I can't read the
screen, but find the system easy to memorize.  If you can see some basics,
you only go to 2 screens.  There are several choices from left to right.  I
only use 2 and can count over the number I need.  the other screen there are
4 choices and they are bigger.  Basically once it is setup, then you only go
to 2 places.  My apologies if you do not have the vision for that, but maybe
some others may be able to use it.
I hate Comcast for their billing and other things, but nice to rent the
expensive box for only $10 a month.  When I buy a house I will go to
directv.
I am using Comcast cause it is forced on me in my complex.  They say it is
free, yet charge me.  it just so happens that the system is easy for me.

As purveyors of cable do, I received a call from Comcast trying to convince
me to get "Tripple play" television, internet, and telephone service from
Comcast.  The eventual price would be a little over $200.00 permonth.  I
asked if the on demand television would be accessible to me as a blind
person over the Internet.  Noone knew.  I do receive my Comcast bill in
Braille.  Could anyone tell me what portions of Comcast are actually
accessible?  I know the set top box is not.  Thank you in advance.
