[Sharonda Greenlaw]

How can I find out more about the accessibility of  Cox cable boxes? I have Cox, but didn't know anything about this! Thanks for all help.

It looks like Comcast is the only company with a talking TV interface. Has anyone heard from any of the other cable companies about their plans to make their boxes accessible? I’m surprised that we didn’t hear anything at Convention. On another note, I read on another list that Comcast improved Voice Guidance so that it will now read notifications, such as incoming phone calls and voicemails. Has anyone noticed this? It doesn’t seem to be working on my system. I’m really impressed with what Comcast has done, but it’s time for other companies to catch on.
