[NFB-Talk] don’t let Microsoft take away navigation for the blind

[James Hulme]

Thanks for the tip!

I must inform you both: To Peter and Roanna:

As of April 2023, YouTube TV is not available in the USA. Spectrum TV
however is available in only some areas of the country (USA) and only
operates within US borders due to geo-restrictions whereas HBO Max is (a
third-party app) available to Comcast customers, but you must pay extra
cost for it. Microsoft Xbox for only 15--30 yr. old gamers or teenagers and
adults from age: 20-45. I would love to know how a blind person would even
use the Xbox. I don't even play video games and I don't even have an Xbox.
What state ONLY are both of you from? What age range? I'm 35-39. NJ.

Please keep me informed of any changes in the future if you know of any.

Hope that helps,
