Hi I have used media center with windows 7. Once set up it is perfect! I mean perfect! First of all, you get to have a guide like the sighted folks. Your channels go down the left side of the table. When you want to see what's on that channel simply hit right arrow and each show is listed. You can get more info about a show, or if it's on right now just enter to go to that channel. And you can see the whole line up for a few days by using your right arrow. I was amazed the first time. To think how cool it would be to have it like that on a real tv. The program is very usable by both jfw and window-eyes. The record settings, the recorded shows, even the online tv stuff!
I think that 245 dollar program is really not worth the money. IMhO

When I had my XP, with USB TV tuner card, and was using Windows Media Center, I could either use Page up to go up a channel number or Page down to go down a number. I also could just type in the number to go to it directly.

I am hoping that windows 7, will be as easy to use.

Are you changing topics because I don't understand the question. With a
TV tuner card connected to your PC, you would change channels using some
media software on your PC. I think Windows Meda Center has been
mentioned on this list, but there are other options, such as Beyond TV.
I'm not sure anymore what the accessible options are.

I'm not sure what the options are with respect to controlling your set
top box, satellite box or cable box from your PC.

how do you control the sat top box or the cable box with the computer as
far as changing channels etc?

You just need a TV tuner card. I know you can get internal cards and
external USB attached cards. You just plug an antenna, cable or whatever
into them.

Interesting, David, and thanks for the info on the Code Factory
product. I'd like to find something that works with a screen reader
rather than having to buy a separate application just to get tv access,
but it is worth looking into, I suppose.
