[Electronics-talk] Cable, SAP, and 21st Century Communications Accessibility

[Brent Harding]

yep, it's at least the cable company and the local station that both have to 
have it right for it to work. At my current apartment, I have Time Warner's 
preferred, or whatever they call it, package where you can hook the TV right 
to the jack. They provide it free for everyone in the building, but I took 
Internet through them also. It seems like my MTS button on the TV remote 
doesn't enable it even though I know of a few channels on my parents' 
DirecTV that are local stations that provide it. Would getting a box from 
TWC make the situation better, and how hard is enabling it on their 
equipment?
