You know what, the regulations you state here have been in place for over 6
months and Comcast still is not providing these even on request they claim
that they are still looking into it.
So, are you saying it is alright for Comcast to break the law and not follow
FCC rules or Direct TV to not follow the rules, but we shouldn't take
advantage of an opportunity to get this service just because sighted people
rule the world and are the only folks allowed to have a choice about what
they can watch and what they can't. And, if they don't want us to have that
same right it is ok not to follow the FCC regulations?

Subject: Re: Blindy.tv - Please spread the word about it
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?

ahem,
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
