Re: A Question About Purchasing Descriptive Video Service Enabled Movies from iTunes

Go into the accessibility settings of your i-device and check the “Prefer video description” checkbox. Content that is provided with video description—also known as audio description—from iTunes should automatically play using the audio description track. Be aware that this is not the case with

Quick correction: the Mac does include this option, as of 10.10 I believe. In System Preferences, go to Accessibility, then choose Descriptions from the table, and Find and check the box for "play audio descriptions when available". I haven't tested this, as none of the iTunes movies with descri

Hi All, I am very interested in Apple TV, but am not clear on what it will give me that I might already have. Currently with Verizon FIOS as our provider, we have enabled the Described Video Service option on the TV/set top box. The draw back for us with this is that in order to get descripti

Re: TVOS Accessibility

Eileen, great questions let me try to help clear things up a little. Apple TV really isn’t a set top box replacement like your FIOS box. Apple TV is a box that grabs content from any number of sources (all of which re on the Internet) and puts them together in a package that’s easy to access.
