I have a very similar problem with Comcast
The technical guys in support do not understand descriptive audio
After getting to their executive escalation desk problem has been fixed
I now get descriptive audio on Fox X CBS CBS USA channel and I have not tried to turn the channel  Descriptive audio fell through the cracks when we went to digital TV and digital cable and digital satellite is just have to remind them that the FCC requires them to put give it to us

>> When we were discussing audio description and providers, someone mentioned to not get either dish or direct TV due to a button being hard to locate. We’re considering getting rid of Time Warner and going with either one of these or possibly aT&T Uverse, even though we tried it over a year ago for 2 weeks and had horrible customer service support. I want to compare pricing, but don’t want to get the one that was mentioned if it will be hard to turn on SAP. So, whoever mentioned that issue with the button, please let me know which company it was with so I can avoid it. We have no sighted help around, so we need to be able to do it ourselves.
