[Electronics-talk] cable access

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,

I’d like to have a tv when I’m on my own. For now, I can get assistance with our cable tv options when someone is available.
Actually, we have fios now.

Obviously, I can manipulate the remote; the buttons are tactile. 
I can even see the name of a tv program when looking fairly close to the screen; but reading long menus would not be possible.

However, much stuff is on screen in this digital age.

Is it possible to have cable or verizon fios when living alone?
I see no way we can access those menus.
In essense you have limited access and pay full price. Would you pay for it without accessing much of its features?

I’ll just state some features and see if they are accessible somehow. Maybe you all use aps.
All are on screen, and therefore seem inaccessible.

1. the tv guide
2. on demand tv
3. the dvr function
4. ordering movies
5. any statements about station outages.

Do any providers have talking menus or large print ones? Do any of them provide braille information to you?
How has the company accomodated you, if at all? 

Thanks.
Ashley
