[Electronics-Talk] samsung tv with voice guide about setting the description

[Arlene]

Ray, I never considered either one of these points about the sap channel.. 
That's something I would have to find out about somehow. To be more 
specific, right now, both of these 2 new tvs we haven't hooked them up to 
dish which is what we have for tv service, so we watch the over the air tv 
channels with these tvs.  Actually we did hook it up to the dish to see how 
it would be. we can't really use these tvs with our dish
 service, somehow it doesn't recognize the dish service. We don't have the 
cox cable service which is in our area that has something very much like 
comcast does with the voice guide. I don't know how our tvs would work with 
a system like that since our tvs already has the voice guide in it. I'm so 
glad you pointed out about the sap channels, As I said I never considered 
that possibly it wouldn't broadcast with my local channels. I probably 
didn't explain that quite right. I Just took it for granted that I would be 
able to access the sap channel. I've had other tvs before that I probably 
could have gotten access to the describing, I didn't always have someone to 
assist me with it. With a tv like these, we can do that. So now somehow I've 
got to find out about the broadcasting of the sap channel. Again thanks for 
pointing that out.
