Mario,

I have Phios for my TV, Internet & Phone service, but I am not sure what is 
considered the Video Subscription Service. Is this a feature that allows for 
the ordering of movies/programs and watching? I do have DVS feature enabled 
on the TV, but what makes me insane is when I get broadcasts in spanish 
language because of the fact that I have my DVS on. I cannot switch between 
putting DVS on/off without sighted assistance. Do you know if this will make 
that ability easier to use so I can watch all programs of my choosing in 
English and switch off the DVS option?

hopefully other Internet Service Providers will follow:

Verizon Launches Accessibility Features

Verizon Communications recently launched a resource page for its newly
upgraded FiOS accessible video subscription service. The page provides
information on FiOS text-to-speech functionality, which was pushed out
to subscribers during a recent software update throughout the Verizon
network.
The upgraded accessibility features are part of the changes made through
the 21st Century Communications & Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), which
requires
cable providers to make their navigation systems accessible for
customers who are blind and visually impaired. These features are
currently available on most FiOS systems. To learn more about the
accessibility upgrades, including steps on how to activate such
features, visit,
