[Arlene]

One more to add to the list is cox tv with the contour here's 3 different 
links that tell different aspects of it. I apologize for not just sending 
one good link. We're thinking of getting cox tv to try it out with this new 
service. We do have dish with the talking box, and it's really wonderful. it 
was very neat last night with the audio description set on we finally her 
our first show described and that was chicago fire. Thanks to Mike or 
possibly Buddy that posted the information thanksgiving week about the 
samsung tv with voice guide of which we purchased that week, that is amongst 
the best things either one of us ever purchased. Here's the links for cox tv 
that's accessible, it included a demo to play but I couldn't get it to play 
for some reason, here's the links
