[Electronics-talk] audio described TV programming

[Ray Foret Jr]

Not only that, but, even if the local station does broadcast the SAP channel, the providor itself, (that is the cable or sattelite or TV service providor) must pass through the SAP channel.  IF they don't, it will not matter whether the network is offering SAP, and, it will not matter if the local station is putting out an SAP signal.  For you to find and use the SAP signal, all three factors must be in place.

>> You most likely need sighted assistance to turn on the SAP channel from the on-screen menus.  The SAP or Secondary Audio Program channel is normally used buy broadcasters to carry audio-described or DVS programming.  Some analog TV's used to have a dedicated button on the remote to turn SAP on and off, but with digital TV's, you usually have to turn it on and off from one of the set's built-in  on-screen menu. If you use a cable box, you usually have to turn SAP on or off from one of the box's on-screen menus.
