[Electronics-talk] descriptive TV

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,
this is bad news. You're saying that time warner and
Comcast are not providing descriptive audio when its now the law.
I cannot speak for cox cable as I have not asked. But I suspect when I do, 
they will have no clue.
what it is either.

My parents can read the options on the screen and we never see descriptive 
audio. So like
Mariea said, I suspect that descriptive tv doesn't exist either for me.

If I cannot get it, is there a way to file a complaint with the FCC and how?
Is there a way to download descriptive tv shows from online? even if its 
paid, I'd like to have old shows.

Ashley

Time Warner Cable doesn't support audio description either. When I read up
on audio description, it said that cable companies use analog and that
satellite uses something else, but I forget what. It seems that the only way
you can get audio description here in the states is via satellite TV. We
turned on SAP on our TV and nothing happens. I doubt Time Warner has any
clue what audio description is either, so I've not bothered asking.
