depending on where you are, the source of your programming, your
cable provider or satellites provider is required to make that work for you.
In fact you can file an FCC complaint now if they do not.
Additionally, efforts going on to make those menus work easily will not
get much support if people are just going to circulate avenues to stolen
property.
And you wonder why the author's guild fears making books work?
What is keeping programs with audio descriptions from getting sponsorship
the way captioning does?
The attitude that those getting the description do not deserve to be
treated like the rest of the consumer marketplace.
They can and will just steal it and circulate it as if this is perfectly
fine.
You cannot have it both ways, either you deserve a respected place at the
audience
market table regardless of how differently you view that table, or you
deserve the stolen crumbs from that table.

Thanks for that. If I can figure out how the menus on my TV work, I will
certainly use what the FCC has provided.

you bet it really matters.
And yes they do.
As of July 2012, all five broadcast networks and the same cable networks must
provide audio described content, and they are doing i, every single week.
all television stations in the top 25 markets stateside must provide the
content as well...with additional markets joining each year.
why should anyone invest in population who is simply going to steal property.
cable providers and satellites providers must insure that you can access the
described content.
I do not have the link to post now, but program listings and details are on the
ACB website.
frankly I find this exclusionary and distasteful.
consumers who happen to score differently on an eye chart, must be segregated
to stolen property on the Internet Never mind that Hollywood films and
television shows air each week with described content.
are you so lacking in personal dignity that you feel stolen property is all you
deserve?
Especially since the entire thing could be done legally?
Is to some extent already.
No one is going to value you if you do not value yourselves, document that
there is a market, use what the FCC is doing to enhance the ability for
everyone to enjoy television as they choose.

Hmm. Does it really matter? No one else seems to provide this, do they?

they do have the legal right to run this service with this content?

Are their any UK channels? Do you think we could have an IOS App so that we
can watch this service anywhere we go and we're not tied to the computer? I
like this service.

Hi folks,
I have been given permission to post about this from another list. This is a
great service.
Check it out and please spread the word.
Blindy.tv
Have you ever wanted to watch TV with audio description but can't get the track
on your tv? Well, now you can...sort of. Have a look at this.
http://www.blindy.tv
This project was created so that everyone could watch TV episodes with audio
description. Every show (except the brain channel) has described content. You
can switch channels just like with an actual TV. So far,
their are 5 channels. Comedy, Drama, Si-fi, Brain and ETC. More may be added if
needed. Each show is either 30 or 60 minutes long. After the show their are
commercials (better than on TV, I can promise you that), a news segment or
comedy skit, and some instrumental music at the top and bottom of each hour.
To access this place, you can do one of two things: You can either go to the
website linked above and used the web players, or, if you'd rather listen in
your media player of choice, place this link into it.
This will load all channels, and you can use the next and previous controls to
move through the different channels.
http://blindy.tv/all.m3u
Please give any suggestions or criticisms you have. Feedback is always welcome.
If you like the service, let us know. If you do not, tell us what we could do
to fix it up. Please spread the word if you like it.
Enjoy!
Matt
