They are marketing it as a jukebox in which every single aspect of the
program is spoken. No libraries that only sort of work etc. The program can
also be used either with or without a screen reader as it comes equipped

One thing most of you are missing here is that the product is basically
meant for a person without a screen reader and is a beginner that only wants
to be able to do the most simple of music tasks. I doubt anyone on this
list would be looking for such an item.

NFB and their ilk kind of did it to us when they got the feds to say that it
was no longer a requirement. So now if you really want descriptive

If you like good humor, try the Canadian TV show Corner Gas. Seasons 2
through the present all have described video on the commercial DVD's.

If you are referring to the NFB statement he's correct. The NFB did
everything within their ability to destroy DVS in the united states and
succeeded in their task almost completely..

I have to disagree and know that NFB did not at the very least help the
cause to have DVS which I really find helpful.
Back to the topic however, are there any programs from PBS or UK that
contain DVS?

On DVD it seems to be rare, but on regular network TV, some of the top shows
are described like CSI. I don't know if 24 is, but I thought someone said
they had described episodes, but they're old.
