I'd have to disagree here. The SlingBox app is quite inaccessible. There are many unlabeled buttons, and an entire graphical area showing the remote control, that VO can not even navigate.
While it is true there are keyboard commands to do some things like change the channel, the main functionality of the app is to give the user access to the same information presented if they were at their television. THings like the program guide, and their specific remote. You won't be able to access any of this. SO if you only wanto to change the channel, and play/pause TV shows, then go for it. Otherwise you should look in to another app/service. On Dec 27, 2009, at 6:34 PM, Darcy Burnard wrote: > Hi. The sling player software is quite accessible on the Mac.
