[Electronics-Talk] SAP on PBS Country Music

[Arlene]

Liz, we did install the pbs video app  on our se phones and our ipad with 
being able to enjoy hearing the audio description, which was really great.It 
was really great being able to hear who was talking and about the pictures 
that were shown. We recorded all 8 parts of the documentary from the ipad 
with being able to record it with the audio description. There's something I 
forgot to mention the other day, with the pbs channel by way of antena, and 
our pbs chahnnel through cox cable, the channel didn't have the audio 
description, but with the app it did. We don't have amazon prime, but I was 
just curious since you mentioned you were going to check to see if it was 
audio described with amazon, since it's another way of watching it. I hope 
you found that it was audio described, but I've just been wondering what you 
found out.

Arlene
