High Jim, Yes I do. My sighted wife programs it for me, but I'd like to be able to do that myself. I can handle my VCR because it has the speak easy menu on it. I've called Dish Network and demonstrated that VCR for them over the phone many times. I have asked them, "how come your receivers can't be designed to do that?" I also let them listen to this computer and asked them the same question. They said something about the cost to make their receivers do that. I said to them, "but I need it to do this for me because I am unable to see my TV screen." The rep asked me, "how come you can't see your TV screen?" I said, "because I am a blind man." He didn't have an answer for me. But than again, neither did all the other reps that I spoke too at Dish Network. My Best regards. John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 6:24 PM Subject: Re: Recording TV shows
