How did you get TNG in a described format? To keep this related, if tangentially, to Apple, I looked for described content on iTunes but found nothing. If I could buy TNG sets on iTunes and have them described, I'd do it in a heartbeat, but that is not an option right now. For that matter, no streaming service has descriptions, not Redbox, not iTunes, not Netflix... On Jan 21, 2013, at 2:32 PM, Mark Baxter <markbaxte...@gmail.com> wrote:
