If it is against the law not to be providing the audio description, why aren't these cable companies getting in trouble? I thought it had something to do with the size of the television market but I could be wrong.

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.

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.
