[Nfbf-l] accessible television for the visually impaired, only for the United Kingdom?

[Sherri]

Thank you for passing this along Sherrill. I just wonder why Europe is so 
far ahead of us technologically? So sad!

Hello all,

I'm sure some of you subscribe to the American Foundation for the Blind's
Access World publication, but I wanted to share this very interesting
article with you. We have heard about accessible TV in the UK, but this
article updates the news a bit. While I applaud Panasonic, somehow I think
it will be a few years before the United States gets serious about this
problem. I often have to call Mike in to help me when our set top box gets
flaky. Who knew there would come a day when a totally blind person couldn't
get their TV to turn on!
Deborah Kendrick has once more written a thoughtful and informative piece.

Have a great weekend!
Sherrill
