The problem is the FCC rule says one thing, but the cable folks aren't
following the rules, and nobody seems to want to take on folks like Comcast.

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?

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
