[Electronics-talk] descriptive tv

[Linda Bloodsaw]

I am going to piggy back ashley's question.  How do you access described over-the-air TV shows.  I know an episode of The Simpsons was audio described, but I could not figure out how to get it.  I believe I read somewhere it was through the SAP channel, but I could not find this on my Vizio television.

But I’m wondering if we can watch a past show online or via tv with the description. I want to see shows such as Cops, Modern Family and the Office described. I was hoping I might also find old tv shows described too such as Full House, Golden Girls and Fresh Prince.
