Thank you for this.  It's time for me to bug my cable company.  Pam.

Colleagues:


There has been a small flurry of accessibility advances of set top boxes
in the past week or so. I understand from friends in New York, that
Verizon's FIOS set top box now talks. We have also learned about the
ROKU accessibility.


Now I can add my trusty TIVO box to the list. As of an update this
afternoon, it is providing rather well executed audio feedback.


To activate screen reader press and hold the "A" button on the remote
for 2 seconds. Similarly to turn it off do the same.


The guide and all programming information which is generated by TIVO
appears to be accessible. Unhappily apps, including Netflix etc are not
accessible.


Brad
