[Electronics-talk] descriptive tv

[Ashley Bramlett]

yay, I'm not the only one wondering. And I'd like to see the simpsons too. I 
watched it as a kid, but not fully.
With audio description now, I'd be able to see the full action.

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.
