<DIV>Hmm, not certain. I have their phone number for disabled customers,
but in the past they haven’t had an abundance of information that was really
helpful. Again, when I have time I’ll try calling again to see if they
have any updated equipment or have changed the way the DVS get
broadcasted.</DIV>

<DIV>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?</DIV>

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