[Electronics-talk] cable access

[Poppa Bear]

There maybe some cable guide apps for the Iphon/pod that would work with 
those networks. If you don't find anything related strictly for the blind in 
the Apple app store, then perhaps a network app for the sighted will be 
accesible. That is where I would start at least.
